Open Collective
CrowdFunding platform: Community is about trust and sharing. Open Collective lets you manage your finances so everyone can see where money comes from and where it goes. Collect and spend money transparently.... Money management made simple, plus great tools for community engagement, budget reporting, and fiscal sponsorship... Accept donations and sponsorships, celebrate your supporters, pay expenses, and keep everyone up to date — all in one place.
Think of your community, project, or initiative as a plant, and a fiscal host as a lovingly tended garden. The host maintains an environment where your unique bush, vine, or tree can get watered, grow, and bloom.
A fiscal host is an organization that welcomes others to operate through their structure, so projects can use the host’s legal entity and bank account instead of setting up their own. The host provides administrative services, oversight, and support.
Some fiscal hosts are registered charities or nonprofits, who are able to provide tax benefits to donors and qualify for philanthropic grants.
