Open Collective is an open-source crowdfunding and financial management platform used by grassroots groups, open-source projects, and nonprofit organizations. It enables communities to collect and spend money transparently, often through fiscal hosting arrangements rather than by creating a separate legal entity of their own. It has been described as particularly popular with open-source communities.
Open Collective was originally developed by Open Collective Inc., a for-profit company. Since 2024, the Open Collective platform has been moved under the stewardship of the Open Finance Consortium (OFiCo), a U.S. 501(c)(6) nonprofit association created by organizations that use the platform.
