Financial Contributions – How to Donate

Helpful guides for Donors and Financial Contributors

🤝 Why Donate via Open Collective Europe?

Open Collective Europe (OCE) enables donors to support impactful Collectives transparently and securely. Hosted Collectives don't need their own bank account or legal entity — OCE receives and manages funds on their behalf. Donors can also choose to be publicly acknowledged on the Collective’s profile.
