Not ready to go recurring, let’s go with a one time contribution!

You will be charged today, and then on the 1st of each month (for monthly subscriptions) or the 1st of the same month next year (for yearly subscriptions). Warning: you may be charged twice in a short time frame if you are setting up a monthly subscription close to the end of the month.

When will I be billed next time?

The Open Source Collective 501c6 is taking 5% of all donation received (on top of the 5% for the Open Collective platform). This is to cover the administrative overhead, accounting, legal. That way you never have to worry about all that boring stuff and you can focus on your project.

What is the cost?

We have created a non profit, the Open Source Collective 501c6 in the United States to act as a fiscal sponsor to host all open source projects. This makes it easy for companies to donate to your project since they can receive one consolidated invoice.

Where is my collective going to be hosted (fiscal sponsored)?

In order to provide fiscal sponsorship to a project, we need to ensure that there is a community around that repo. If you already have a legal entity (or know a legal entity that could host your collective), then you could directly host your collective independently. Please use this form to create a self hosted collective: opencollective.com/create and select 'Other'. Note that in that case you will be responsible for doing the accounting as well as facilitating payments from sponsors.

Why only repos with at least 100 stars?

You can create your own host as an individual or as an organization. You will be responsible for keeping custody of the funds raised by this collective and for paying out the expenses that have been approved.

Use your own host

With this option, everything is taking care of for you. No need to create a new bank account, no need to worry about accounting and invoicing. All of that is being taken care of by an existing non profit organization that acts as your fiscal host. Note: most hosts charge a commission to cover the administrative overhead.

Apply to an existing host

Without a host, you can't collect money. But you can still use the other features of Open Collective: filing expenses, posting updates, and creating events.

Legal entity (ideally a non profit organization) that will receive the funds and issue invoices on behalf of the collective. Recommended if you plan to host more than one collective or if your collective expects to collect more than $10,000/year.

ou will receive the funds on behalf of the collective under your own name. Please check with your local fiscal authorities the allowance below which you don't have to report the donations as taxable income.

Hosts are legal entities that collect money on behalf of open collectives so that they don't have to worry about accounting, taxes, etc. Some also provide extra services. {findOutMoreLink}

When you do an open source project the last thing you want to worry about is creating a legal entity, keeping track of accounting and other tax reports, just because a company wants to support you financially but needs an invoice for that.

That's why we have created an umbrella non profit (the {osclink}) that can host your open source community. You just need to have at least 100 stars on Github, operate in full transparency and respect our {communityguidelineslink}.

50% of the commission (so 5% out of the 10%) goes to finance this non profit and pay for legal and accounting and other expenses that can be mutualized for the benefit of the open source community at large.

Worry not! One of our engineers is probably already on it  👩🏻‍💻👨🏿‍💻. Please try again later. Thank you for your patience 🙏 (and sorry for the inconvenience!)

You can set a monthly limit to allow the other members of your organization to use this credit card. If set to zero, only you and the other administrators of this organization will be able to use this card.

Why is my credit card not showing up?

You are one step away from supporting open collectives.

Open Collective helps communities - like open source projects, meetups and social movements - raise funds spend them transparently.

The card has been added to your account.

You can now donate to any collective of your choice.
