Third-Party Tools

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.

  • /Instagram Live Donations

    • Contact us when you start a new fundraiser so that we can get the raised funds correctly allocated to your account

    • Due to Facebook's disbursement schedule, there could be a ~1 month delay in disbursement of raised funds to your initiative after the Facebook fundraiser has ended

  • Charity Fundraising

    • Select OpenCollective as the beneficiary in order for your donors to receive tax-deductible status [recommended],

    • or you collect them on your own behalf, and transfer them to your initiative as one lump sum. [non-tax-deductible status for your donors]

Contact us in order receive our bank details and credit your collective with the money you collected on another crowdfunding platform. Please note that there will be no tax deductibility option in this case.
