The Pasadena Project is a proud partner of PayPal’s Giving Fund. You can find more details and donate directly through our Giving Fund Charity Page
The Giving Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps make supporting small charities like ours easier. They handle all transaction fees, process donations securely, and provide donors with tax-deductible receipts.
Whether you give through the Giving Fund or one of the options below, we believe the way you give should always feel transparent and comfortable.
For your convenience, The Pasadena Project now offers a secure virtual terminal powered by PayPal. That means you can donate using your credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Venmo — even if you don’t have a PayPal account.
You can designate a campaign for your gift, or let it go toward our general event fund. Either way, your donation supports real community projects.
Because let’s be honest: donating shouldn’t be complicated. It should be secure, transparent, and clear where your money is going — from the moment you give it.
Direct donations fuel every part of The Pasadena Project. Unlike sponsorships or ticketed events, your gift goes straight to the heart of our mission—empowering Pasadena through community essentials, local events, and volunteer-driven projects.
Every contribution helps us:
- Create welcoming spaces where neighbors can connect and collaborate.
- Support local initiatives that strengthen small businesses and families.
- Provide the essentials our community needs to grow, thrive, and sustain itself.
When you donate directly, you’re not just giving—you’re investing in Pasadena’s future.
One-time gifts make a difference, but monthly donors create lasting change. By subscribing to a recurring gift, you provide steady, reliable support that allows The Pasadena Project to plan ahead, grow programs, and respond quickly when our community needs us most.
As a monthly donor, you’ll help us:
- Sustain community events that bring neighbors together all year long.
- Keep local volunteer initiatives running strong.
- Build a dependable foundation for Pasadena’s future.
Your ongoing generosity ensures we’re not just reacting to needs—we’re building something lasting.
