OpenCollective provides a legal and financial toolbox to help communities raise money and share their finances transparently. Founded in 2015 as a Public Benefit Corporation, its mission is to enable groups like open-source projects, mutual aid networks, and social movements to operate sustainably. The platform utilizes a "fiscal host" model, where a legal entity holds funds on behalf of the collective, handling accounting, taxes, and payments, thus allowing the community to focus on its mission without needing to create its own legal entity.
