Social Media

Open Collective Foundation

Here are a list of services we have access to through OCF. In short, they do money handling.

How we use OCF as of 2023

  • Share income/expenses/savings openly with the community
  • Offer tax write-offs when people donate (this might be a US-limited feature)
  • Reimburse volunteers
  • Use an open-source and community-led platform

Other things you could use the OCF account for

  • Apply for a grant
  • Create mini-grants for your community
  • The newletters they send out are chock full of resources for collectives
