Open Collective Foundation Closing 2024
Published on March 10, 2024 by Ericka Ward
To Our Beloved Community!
Thank you so much for your gifts to Black Ideas Collaborative and for sharing in the dream of mutuality and collective care.
Our fiscal sponsor, Open Collective Foundation, is in the process of closing their fiscal sponsorship operations this year. We received this information with short notice and are doing our best to navigate next steps. Open Collective Foundation has been a phenomenal fiscal sponsor and support system so this is differently a major loss for the mutual care and social justice ecosystem.
We are currently searching for a new fiscal sponsor for Black Ideas Collaborative. In this process of transition, BIC and Open Collective will stop receiving recurring payments effective March 15, 2024. Therefore, all recurring payments will be discontinued after that date.
If you are in the position to be able to do so, we would be so grateful if you could make a one-time donation before March 15 that would replace 4 months of what your recurring payments would have been.
We will work to keep you all updated as we navigate this chapter!
Sincerely,
Trish, Ese & Ericka - Black Ideas Collaborative Co-Conspirators
