Case Study: Nextdoor achieves 10x growth in Sell for Good listings and boosts local donations with PayPal Giving Fund (PayPal)

Nextdoor - Customer Case Study

Nextdoor, the neighborhood-based social network with 270,000 verified neighborhoods across 11 countries and a "For Sale and Free" marketplace that totals about $2 billion in listings monthly, saw neighbors increasingly ask how to support local charities during the COVID‑19 crisis — conversations about donating rose 7x. Nextdoor needed a simple, secure way to turn those community conversations and used items into meaningful local support.

To meet that need Nextdoor launched Sell for Good in partnership with PayPal and PayPal Giving Fund, letting U.S. members donate sale proceeds to any of 132,000 charities. Since launch Sell for Good listings have increased 10x and members donated $75,000 to non‑profits in the first four months, creating a free, secure channel for local giving.
