PayPal Giving Fund UK (“PPGF UK”) is a registered charity in England and Wales (registered charity number 1110538). We are regulated by the Charity Commission and are set up with a wide remit, allowing us to support any activity classed as charitable under English rules. PPGF UK has its own board of directors, who are the charity trustees and who oversee the management of PPGF UK. At least half the board directors are independent of PayPal.
PPGF UK is a subsidiary of PayPal Charitable Giving Fund (“PPGF US”), a US registered section 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. PPGF US appoints the PPGF UK board, but the PPGF UK directors are under a duty to make decisions independently and act in the best interests of PPGF UK.
PayPal, Inc. a listed US company, provides grant funding to PPGF US in support of its charitable mission, and appoints PPGF US board members. PayPal Inc also provides PPGF US with technical and managerial support.
PPGF US provides a range of in-kind support to PPGF UK such as the use of office space and transaction processing; and also gives grant funding to PPGF UK. We use this funding to cover PPGF UK operating costs, including the employment costs of PayPal staff in the UK who are formally seconded to us from PayPal, Inc. to carry out PPGF UK work. Where staff are seconded to us, they remain employed by PayPal but are line managed within PPGF UK. PPGF UK reimburses PayPal accordingly. The PPGF UK directors ensure that this represents good value for PPGF UK as an independent charity.
This approach has been designed in accordance with PPGF UK’s regulatory requirements and in particular the Charity Commission guidance on charities working with non-charities.
