Open Collective is aΒ legal and financialtoolbox for grassroots groups. It’s aΒ fundraising + legal status + money managementΒ platform for your community.

Website: https://opencollective.com

I’ve followed and used this platform for years and I highly recommend it for projects and collectives of all sorts.

[[Fission]] is a Fiscal Host, meaning we provide the backend for multiple collectives.

In Canada, [[Hypha Co-op]] is another.

Collaborate with money A shared account to fundraise and manage money, connect with your people, and more.

The organization is going through an [[Exit to Community]] process: https://opencollective.com/e2c

Open Collective is a platform that enables projects to raise funds and manage them transparently. The Moa Open Collective page is at https://opencollective.com/moa
