Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) is a nonprofit network of thousands of teenage coders around the world. We’re currently running an electronics grant program (https://hackclub.com/winter/) to support teenagers in building hardware projects. Hundreds of grants are being distributed to teenage coders all across the world. It’s open source at https://github.com/hackclub/winter. PayPal just shut our account down with no explanation, and denied our appeal. They told us that any funds in PayPal will be held for up to 180 days. They also said they will no longer process donations to us, with no explanation. Many grants, including nearly all grants outside the US, require PayPal to process. If anyone here might be able to help in any way, we would be so appreciative. We are actively going through their customer support channels, but not getting much in the way of next steps. My email is zach@hackclub.com.
