Open Collective is a legal and financial toolbox for grassroots groups. It’s a fundraising + legal status + money management platform for your community. Raise money with full transparency. We do the paperwork so you can focus on your mission. Whether you're a mutual aid group, a community initiative, an open-source software project, or a climate change activist, Open Collective helps groups unlock access to money.

Fiscal hosting: Operate under the umbrella of an established legal entity, so you don’t have to incorporate your own. A Host can take care of accounting, taxes, banking, and non-profit status. Shared account: Manage your budget together. Transparency builds trust and accountability, and no individual has to take on all the responsibility. Powerful money tools: Pay expenses, receive donations, manage grants, sell event tickets, get a virtual card linked to your balance, and more!

Collaborate with money. A shared account to fundraise and manage money, connect with your people, and more.

Payment: Accept funds, transfer money, pay people and create invoices. Fundraising: Publicly display your budget and transactions to build trust from contributors and donors. Community engagement: Post updates, create events, connect your website, or use your Open Collective page with your custom URL. Reporting: No more messy spreadsheets. Open Collective updates live to make reporting easy. Auditors and grantmakers love us! Accounting: No need to balance your checkbook. It’s all accessible here on the platform.
