Virtue Expands into Canada

We are excited and delighted to share that Virtue is extending its partnership with the PayPal Giving Fund, bringing Canadian causes onto the platform. Choose from over 20,000 Canadian causes now available to our merchants!


What does Virtue X PayPal Giving Partnership mean?


When donating to Canadian causes, store and customer donations will be processed by the PayPal Giving Fund. (PPGF).


How does this work?

  • Charities enroll with PayPal Giving Fund Canada

  • Supporters donate via Virtue directly to PayPal Giving Fund Canada

  • PayPal Giving Fund Canada receives the donations and provides receipts to donors

  • PayPal Giving Fund Canada grants the funds to charities, without charging for its services


This means your donations will automatically go to your causes on the 20th of the month via the PayPal Giving Fund


PayPal Giving Fund Canada helps people support their favourite charities online and raises funds to benefit charities through PayPal and other technology platforms. PPGF receive donations and make grants to our donors' recommended charities.


Official PPGF Donation Disclaimer


Your donation, less processing fees of [1.60% + $0.30], is to PayPal Giving Fund Canada (PPGF), a charity registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (No. 812867752RR0001), subject to its terms. PPGF typically grants funds to recommended charities within 45 days (90 days if the charity has not enrolled). In the rare event PPGF can’t fund your chosen charity, it will (whenever possible) ask you to recommend another, and grant the funds to a similar charity if you don’t respond. Your donation may typically be used for a tax credit in Canada, and you will be emailed an official donation receipt issued by PPGF for your records.


We don't take you behind the scenes often - but this expansion is VERY exciting


We know how much of a pain manual giving for our non-UK users and not finding specific causes has been for our merchants so we are stoked to be able to roll out this partnership. The team at PayPal Giving Fund are very passionate and have been incredible in making it happen. All we can say now is - go for it! Let's make an impact together - it's good for the planet and its good for business.
