Final reminder: All collectives will be frozen October 1, 2024
Published on September 26, 2024 by Wayne (OCF)


Thank you to the collectives who have been submitting their final expenses in advance of the final deadline of September 30, 2024. 

This update serves as the final reminder about the end of OCF’s fiscal sponsorship program. As of 12:00 am PDT on October 1, 2024, all fiscal sponsorship agreements are effectively terminated, and collectives will be frozen on the platform.

Submit your expenses!


If you have any remaining balance, we urge you to submit expenses to fully spend your collective’s balance before 11:59:59 pm PDT on September 30, 2024. 

Please consult our documentation for information on what expenses are allowable under IRS regulations. Any expense requests that are not allowable will be rejected, and you will not be able to resubmit after the September 30 deadline. 

As a reminder, we are not able to make any exceptions to this deadline.

Domains and Google Workspaces will be deactivated


If your collective has a web domain or Google Workspace with OCF, it will also be deactivated on October 1. This could cause a disruption in your email, website, or file access. 

If you need assistance with transferring to a new registrar, contact me immediately by emailing [email protected]

If you have any questions at all, the general inquiries email address is the best way to reach me quickly. Many questions may be answered in our dissolution FAQ and documentation. Do not use the Contact function on the platform, as it may delay my response. 

Thank you all again for your cooperation with the wind-down of OCF. I wish you all the best!

Hi Wayne, 

I submitted an expense  about  two weeks ago and it still has not been approved.
