On the PayPal search results page, it has the following extra text:

It looks like the charity you’re looking for isn’t here.
If you think they aren’t on PayPal, let them know you are looking
for them. Enrolling is quick and simple.

And this link:

https://www.paypal.com/givingfund/

That seems to be the sign up page for Charities to get on the PayPal
list.

Maybe something for PostgreSQL Europe to consider?

As as aside, having new US and EU charity bits in place would also make
a stronger case for -announce email. :D
