What is Open Collective?
Open Collective is a legal and financial toolbox for grassroots groups. It’s a fundraising + legal status + money management platform for your community.
Raise money with full transparency. We do the paperwork so you can focus on your mission.
Whether you're a mutual aid group, a community initiative, an open-source software project, or a climate change activist, Open Collective helps groups unlock access to money.
- Fiscal hosting: Operate under the umbrella of an established legal entity, so you don’t have to incorporate your own. A Host can take care of accounting, taxes, banking, and non-profit status.
- Shared account: Manage your budget together. Transparency builds trust and accountability, and no individual has to take on all the responsibility.
- Powerful money tools: Pay expenses, receive donations, manage grants, sell event tickets, get a virtual card linked to your balance, and more!
Collaborate with money. A shared account to fundraise and manage money, connect with your people, and more.
- Payment: Accept funds, transfer money, pay people and create invoices.
- Fundraising: Publicly display your budget and transactions to build trust from contributors and donors.
- Community engagement: Post updates, create events, connect your website, or use your Open Collective page with your custom URL.
- Reporting: No more messy spreadsheets. Open Collective updates live to make reporting easy. Auditors and grantmakers love us!
- Accounting: No need to balance your checkbook. It’s all accessible here on the platform.
Comments and Reviews
Great for anyone who wishes to show what they were spending on without worrying about the dangerous things that could happen.
Change the world people? That evaluation ^ still stands. Hint - set up your commercial donation platforms, e.g. paypal - good practice for the real thing i.e. @opencollective
Helps open source became sustainable
"Helps open source became sustainable"
Exactly.
Sending money through @opencollective is a vote for transparent funding. Public funding. As in, public funding available to the public on the web.
By comparison, Paypal can send alerts, but not the same depth of accountability (e.g. live reports) as this ^ app.
