Please register SPI as a charity with PayPal Giving Fund

[Martin Michlmayr]

In 2017 (!) you suggested that SPI sign up for PayPal Giving Fund.
Even though we applied several times over the years, we never
received a reply from PayPal.

I'm happy to let you know that the underlying problem has finally been
resolved and we have now successfully signed up for PayPal Giving Fund.
