I'm positive I've donated just with a PayPal balance before, so I think so? I might be remembering wrong, though. I know sometimes PayPal will just not let you use a balance to pay for certain things though, or require a card just for security purposes, even if you're paying with the balance. I've had a problem like this with a video game I play.

Unfortunately, if that is the case, that's kind of unchangeable, and there wouldn't be a way to donate without a card. D: I might just be misunderstanding though, someone do correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe there is a way to donate using Paypal, but I'm not sure, as I don't use it. lol If you don't have a regular card, though, you can use a prepaid card. I prefer those for online purchases because I'm paranoid of having my account hacked.

You just need to put in how much you want to donate and click 'Submit' then it'll take you to Paypal and you should be able to choose there to use your Paypal balance.
mine isn't tied to any credit or debit cards and I've been able to donate before.
