Spotlight on a Cause
Throughout the year, eBay Giving Works rallies the eBay Community through Spotlight on a Cause themes to raise awareness and funds for causes close to your heart. Getting involved is a great way to give a seasonal push to your favorite cause, in addition to the 365 days a year you can support it with eBay Giving Works.
How Spotlight on a Cause works
- Each Spotlight on a Cause theme gets its own dedicated page.
- Any listing created for a nonprofit involved in that cause automatically appears on the Spotlight page.
- Buyers shop the Spotlight page for items benefiting their favorite cause.
Search for nonprofits participating in Spotlight on a Cause campaigns that interest you. (Note: Organization names in ALL CAPS appear first in search results.)
