What We Offer

Open Collective Europe offers two core services: fiscal hosting for grassroots initiatives and regranting support for philanthropic foundations.

1. Fiscal Hosting for Grassroots Initiatives

Open Collective Europe (OCE) serves as a fiscal host for unincorporated groups, allowing them to:

• Operate without establishing a legal entity: Avoid the complexities of setting up a nonprofit, including opening a bank account.

• Access financial tools: Utilize the Open Collective platform to manage budgets, receive donations, and process expenses transparently.

• Tax-deductible donations (U.S. only): OCE can provide tax deductibility for donations from U.S.-based donors, thanks to our partnership with Myriad USA.

This service is ideal for collectives seeking to focus on their mission without the administrative burden of formal incorporation.

2. Regranting Services for Foundations

OCE collaborates with philanthropic institutions to facilitate regranting processes, enabling foundations to:

• Establish philanthropic funds: Create dedicated funds managed by OCE to support specific causes or regions.

• Distribute grants efficiently: Leverage our infrastructure to disburse funds to grassroots initiatives, even those lacking formal legal status.

• Maintain transparency and compliance: Utilize the Open Collective platform for real-time tracking of fund allocation and ensure adherence to regulatory requirements.

• Reach underserved communities: Support informal or decentralized groups that traditional grantmaking processes might overlook.

This service is tailored for foundations aiming to maximize their impact by reaching a broader spectrum of beneficiaries with reduced administrative overhead.
