Why we do what we do
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.

Our Grantees
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 to thrive.
