eBay Foundation Awards $3M to Help Drive Inclusive Entrepreneurship
Defy Ventures, Global Sisters, and Hatch Enterprises are among this year’s Global Give grantees supporting inclusive entrepreneurship around the world.
To unleash the power of entrepreneurship and build economically vibrant and thriving communities.
And, we’ve been doing it since 1998. eBay Foundation partners with nonprofit organizations that are addressing and removing barriers to entrepreneurship for people who identify with historically excluded groups. We also support our employees with meaningful giving and volunteering opportunities. From driving local giving and volunteering in their communities, to working with us to match their donations and volunteer hours to the causes they are passionate about, the eBay Foundation is core to our culture.
We partner with nonprofits that accelerate entrepreneurship among Black, Indigenous and people of color in the U.S. and women globally. We believe they are the experts working on everything from small business policy to providing the capital, capacity-building and connections that entrepreneurs need. This important work continues as we expand our strategy to include deep listening and partnership in advancing systems change intended to build the holistic ecosystem of support historically underserved entrepreneurs require in order to thrive.
We stand with our employees when they support the causes and communities close to their hearts. Through our matching gifts program, eBay Foundation matches employees’ personal donations and volunteer time up to $10,000 per employee, per year.
Led by eBay employees, our Changemakers teams drive volunteering and giving in our local communities – being the change and inspiring it in others. By putting trust, empathy and humility into action, Changemakers help make our communities better places to live and work – for everyone.
