PayPal has a similar program, called "Giving Fund". As we're showing up
for Amazon, it's possible we're on PayPal's list too and they've not
mentioned it. eg:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/28/paypal-charity-donations-giving-fund-lawsuit
Trying various PG related keywords here isn't showing anything, probably
because it's hard coded to only allow charities in the country I'm visiting
the site from (UK):
https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/hub/
Anyone want to check from the US?
