Street Forum Transitioning to new Fiscal Sponsor
Published on March 19, 2024 by Francis
Hello Street Forum community!
You were likely recently notified that your recurring donations have been paused. This is because Open Collective Foundation, our fiscal host and sponsor, is shutting down. This comes as an abrupt surprise to us and hundreds of other mutual aid groups across the country who rely on OCF for financial transparency and to receive tax-deductible donations without being a non-profit.
We are in the process of finding a new fiscal sponsor to host us on Open Collective ASAP, and will post updates once we figure this out. We are doing our best as a volunteer-run org to adapt to this sudden and very unfortunate change. We hope to resolve this and resume collecting tax-deductible donations soon.
In the meantime - we still have a Venmo (@streetforum), an Amazon wishlist (in the linktree in our Instagram bio), and we always accept item donations.
