PAYPAL GIVES
The true spirit of the holidays is found in community and compassion. That’s why PayPal enables you to do more than shop quickly and confidently—it enables
you to make positive contributions to the world and better support those in need. With a wide range of services that make it easy to give, PayPal presents
shoppers with many ways to spread holiday cheer.
THE SEASON OF GIVING
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. A time when we want to give more than ever. Charitable giving is spurred during the holidays because we’re in the mindset of thinking about others. Because doing good makes us feel good. Literally. And because giving is contagious.
But the ways to give haven’t necessarily kept up with our appetite for giving—or our actions. With a third of our time each day spent on our smartphones, what if an easier way to give was put in the palms of our hands?
What if how and when and where we were able to give was as ubiquitous as our desire to give? This holiday it can be.
This time of year, nothing is more fashionable
than giving back. The Pura Vida team offers
colorful bracelets in a range of creative styles
—handcrafted by artisans in Costa Rica—whose
purchase provides support to environmental
organizations worldwide. Pura Vida Bracelets is
a member of 1% for the Planet, and its own Charity
Collection has donated over $935,000 to date. In
addition to bracelets, you can purchase Pura Vida
swimwear, clothing, and “pure life” accessories,
all while knowing that in addition to looking good,
you are also doing good.

GIVE BACK GIFT BACK
This year, give a gift that is anything but ordinary.
With Heifer International you can empower
families around the world to turn hunger and
poverty into hope and prosperity—all with the
gift of an animal. Be it a gift of a pig, goat, water
buffalo, or honeybees, your contribution will help
communities bring sustainable agriculture and
commerce to areas with long histories of poverty.
Your animal gift will provide families with both
food and reliable income, as products such as
milk, eggs, and honey can be traded or sold at
market. With your PayPal donation, you won’t
be providing just a flock of geese, ducks, or chicks,
you’ll be providing the gift of empowerment.

Want to make your adventurous loved one a
happy camper this holiday season? Consider
a solar-powered travel light from LuminAID.
Sleek and lightweight, LuminAID is perfect
for outdoor enthusiasts and for lighting up
any backyard get-together or tree house.
Plus, with the “Give Light, Get Light” package,
your purchase will sponsor an additional light
to be distributed to someone in need. With
a commitment to quality, renewable energy,
and helping others, LuminAID makes for
a truly illuminating gift.

Give the gift of life and join charity: water in
bringing clean and safe drinking water to people
in developing countries around the world. 100%
of your donation goes to clean water, and charity:
water will prove your impact with photos and
GPS coordinates on Google Maps. Whether you
make a personal contribution or donate in honor
of someone you love, PayPal is here to help you
change lives.

PayPal is proud to support a growing number of worldwide merchants and charities whose principles are rooted in giving back. With companies like these, buying great gifts for loved ones and supporting those in need are never mutually exclusive.
Two-thirds (66%) of global online consumers say they are willing to pay more for products or services provided by companies that are committed to positive social and environmental impact.
–Nielsen, 2015
THE GIFT OF GIVINGBe it a surprise for a loved one or a donation to a worthy cause,
PayPal makes it easy to give some goodwill.
2015 was the biggest holiday season for charitable giving in PayPal’s history, with $857 million given to charities through PayPal’s platform from November 27 — December 31, 2015.
–PayPal
#GIVINGTUESDAY
For the fifth year in a row, PayPal is a lead supporter
of the #GivingTuesday movement, working closely
with 92Y and our charity partners around the globe
to encourage people to give back. Last year, PayPal
users set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS®
milestone for the most money donated online
for charity in 24 hours: more than $45.8 million.
Imagine what we can do together this year.
Giving back is even easier this holiday season– no
matter where you are. Now you can make donations
to PayPal Giving Fund certified charities with the
PayPal app. Select the “Donate” feature on the
home screen and choose from tens of thousands
of charities making a difference around the world.
IN-APP D ONATIONS
1% D ONATION MATCH
PayPal will add an extra 1% to all donations
made on #GivingTuesday (November 29th)
and throughout the holiday season, ensuring
that 101% of your donation goes to the charity
of your choice. Terms apply.
PayPal makes it simple for you to support the
causes you’re passionate about. The PayPal
Giving Fund is a nonprofit organization that
leverages PayPal’s digital payments technology
to provide donors with a secure and easy way
to support causes they’re passionate about.
PayPal ensures that 100% of every contribution
made through the PayPal Giving Fund reaches
the donor’s chosen charity while giving charities
access to millions of potential donors on PayPal.
PAYPAL GIVING FUND
THE GIFT OF CONVENIENCELike self-starting fireplaces and ready-bake dinner rolls,
PayPal helps make life easier during the holidays.
About three-fourths of global consumers have pooled funds with others to buy someone an extra special gift.
–PayPal Money Habits Survey, 2015
SHOP ON-THE- GO
While on the go during the holidays, you can shop,
manage your money, and pay back IOUs with the
redesigned PayPal app. PayPal has made it even
simpler to send and receive money, pay in-store,
and check your balance and transaction history
right from your mobile device.
SPLIT THE GIFT & MORE
Sending monetary gifts and sharing costs shouldn’t
get in the way of sharing moments. PayPal peer-
to-peer payments and Venmo eliminate the hassle
that comes with sending checks or bugging someone
to pay you back this holiday season. With PayPal
P2P and Venmo, you can perfectly manage any
group expense—be it food at Friendsgiving, new
holiday decorations, or a group gift for Mom & Dad.
PayPal connects you to a vast network of merchants
– from local artisans to big retailers – all over the world,
so you can find one-of-a-kind gifts without having to
travel abroad or even change out of your slippers.
SHOP EVERYWHERE FROM ANYWHERE
CHECK OUT FASTER
Spend less time paying and more time sleighing.
PayPal One Touch™ allows you to stay logged
in and check out faster and easier as you shop
across millions of online retailers, without having
to type usernames, passwords, or 16-digit credit
card numbers multiple times. Also, Venmo users
can pay in select merchant apps, split holiday
purchases easily, and share their finds with
friends on the Venmo news feed.
THE GIFT OF COMFORTJust like a fresh, out-of-the-dryer sweater, PayPal’s secure transactions and buyer protection for eligible purchases
will leave you feeling safe and cozy.
More than half of global shoppers view free return shipping as a necessity when purchasing online.
–PayPal IPSOS Cross-Border & Mobile Research, 2014
RETURN SHIPPING ON US
Did you buy a table cloth that’s too small or a sweater that’s too big? No problem. PayPal helps take
the uneasiness out of online holiday shopping by waiving the cost of return shipping on eligible purchases
from merchants around the world. If something doesn’t fit, isn’t right, or you just had a change of heart,
send it back—for free—with PayPal. Limitations apply.
During a busy time of the year, it’s nice to know
that you’re well protected against any thieves trying
to act naughty. With PayPal, you only need a login
and password to allow you to make purchases, so
you won’t have to share any bank details or card
numbers with merchants. This acts as an added
layer of security for your financial information.
Additionally, PayPal’s 24/7 monitoring helps
guard your transactions with encryption and
fraud-monitoring tools.
EXTRA SECURITY LAYER PURCHASE PROTECTION
PayPal allows you to buy food, gifts, decorations,
travel accommodations, and everything in between
with complete confidence that you should receive
exactly what you ordered or get your money back.
If something goes wrong (i.e. gift damaged during
shipping, toy missing parts, shoes sold as “new”
but are actually used), PayPal will investigate. On
qualifying purchases, PayPal can reimburse you for
any original shipping costs, plus the full purchase
price. See eligibility. *
