Please note: The platforms listed below are not integrated with fiscal hosting and do not automatically indicate which Collective a donation is intended for.

If you choose to raise funds through these platforms and would like them allocated to your Collective, you must notify us in advance.

Unclaimed or unassigned funds will be placed in a holding fund for up to two years. If they remain unclaimed after this period, they may be reallocated to Open Collective Europe’s general operating budget.
