title: Access and donate to PayPal Giving Fund charities via an API
body: <p>I would like to access the list of PayPal Giving Fund charities so that a user of my site/app could eventually donate via credit card or PayPal.</p>
  
  <p>I have looked into other APIs, like Just Giving, Orghunter, Charity Navigator, all in which don't have a large variety of charities.</p>
  
  <p>If you've ever visited the site <a href="https://www.humblebundle.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.humblebundle.com</a> the idea is very similar to this. To give you an idea, it'd go something like this:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I select charities for the user to donate to for a certain category (environment, animals, etc), save to db to retrieve specific charities later</p></li>
  <li><p>User sees charities to divide their donation using sliders. They have the possibility to swap out charities if don't like selection</p></li>
  <li><p>User enters amount and enters their credit card or paypal account</p></li>
  <li><p>I make the connection to PayPal API to make donation</p></li>
  <li><p>User then gets a receipt or something like a tax receipt</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I guess the questions I'm asking are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is there access to a list of Giving Fund charities via an API</li>
  <li>Is it possible to donate to charities from the Giving Fund list via the API</li>
  <li>Would this API be available to an Australian PayPal account</li>
  <li>If there is no API for Giving Fund, is it possible to retrieve a list of charities to do this via another route in PayPal</li>
  <li>Will there be any restrictions on the Apple and Android stores if this was an app</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thank you so much for your time!</p>
