Open Collective is a brand that focuses on making communities sustainable by helping them collect and spend money transparently. They offer a platform where communities, projects, or initiatives can thrive and grow. Think of it as a lovingly tended garden where your unique project can bloom.

Open Collective provides a fiscal hosting service, which means they welcome organizations to operate through their structure. This allows projects to use Open Collective's legal entity and bank account instead of setting up their own. The benefits of using Open Collective's fiscal hosting service include tax-exempt or charity status, as well as relief from administrative tasks such as handling taxes, invoicing, and accounting.

Open Collective also provides tools for money management, allowing everyone in the community to have access to the budget and fundraising tools. Additionally, Open Collective offers ongoing sustainability and networking opportunities, as well as automatic reporting and transparency for funders. With Open Collective, your finances are organized in one place, eliminating the need for messy spreadsheets.

Whether you're a grant recipient, a crowdfunding campaign, or an emergent community response, Open Collective is here to help your project thrive and achieve its mission
