### 🔄 Donation Process

1. **Fundraising Setup**

2. **Donation Receipt**
   * Donations made in cryptocurrency are received by Every.org and converted into fiat currency.
3. **Fund Allocation**
   * Converted funds are transferred to OCE and then allocated to your Collective's balance on the Open Collective platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: Transfers from Every.org to OCE occur **twice per year**.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### 💰 Fees and Costs
