PayPal Impact Day 2025

PayPal's Impact Day engaged 11,000 employees to support small businesses and nonprofits. Nana Joes Granola, a small business based in San Francisco, was among the 350 businesses supported during the day's events. Impact Day is only one of the ways PayPal shows its commitment to empowering entrepreneurs, employees, and local communities.
