Go Fund Me gifts through PayPal Giving Fund

Beth UnruhArnold

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has received gifts that were made through Go Fund Me that then get sent to PayPal Giving fund where you have to release the funds to your organizations bank account. If so wondering how you entered them. Did you set up an organization record for PayPal Giving fund and just entered the tottal gift amount under that record or did you pull a list of all the donors and enter each gift under the specified donor? It is considered a donor advised fund.

Hi @Beth UnruhArnold - Welcome to BB Community! I have created a general record of “PayPal Giving Fund” to record these gifts. If the donor information is provided (not always the case) then I soft credit the amount given to their specific record.

I agree with @Austen Brown. It to me is just like any other DAF. I would treat those gifts just like you would any other gifts from a DAF!

Who's the DAF in this situation? It's new to me, so I want to learn. Is it Go Fund Me of PayPal Giving Fund? Thanks!

It is PayPal Giving Fund that is the DAF
