# What We Offer

### 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.
