Open Collective is an online funding platform that lets communities, open source projects, and organizations raise, manage, and spend money with full transparency, including fiscal hosting for groups without legal status. This repository is the project's central hub for issues, RFCs, and documentation, with the actual code split across separate API, frontend, and service repositories.

Use cases

• raise money for an open source project
• accept donations without a legal entity
• manage community finances transparently
• process expense reimbursements for a collective
• find a fiscal host for a grassroots group
• run crowdfunding campaigns for a nonprofit
• track a project's budget publicly

When to choose

• your community needs transparent, collaborative money management
• your group lacks legal status and needs fiscal sponsorship
• you want public ledgers and open budgets for donor trust
• you need to process many expense requests and reimbursements

When to avoid

• you need private, confidential financial management
• you want a simple personal payment app
• you need a lightweight donation button without collective/fiscal-host structure
