The technology company eBay says it raised $101.7 million for charities in 2018, compared with $84 million in 2017.
The company says it has raised nearly $912 million since 2003. Sellers can designate a charity to receive a portion of their sales; buyers can choose to give when they make a purchase; and charities can use the site to sell goods and market charity events.
One of its highest-profile events is the annual power lunch with Warren Buffett, which raised $3.3 million last year for a San Francisco nonprofit called Glide, which works on anti-poverty and economic-inequality projects. Other fundraising events were for the Grammy Foundation, the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, and a celebrity auction for veterans featuring Kenny Chesney, Ben Stiller, and Jake Tapper.
