Organizations

What is an Organization?

An Organization is a profile that represents a company or entity instead of an individual. Companies that become Financial Contributors, as well as legal entities that are Fiscal Hosts, are Organizations on Open Collective.

Why Create an Organization?

  • Have your company show up as a Financial Contributor to Collectives
  • Enable your employees to support Collectives on behalf of your company
  • Make bulk transfers so you can send money once and distribute it to Collectives as you wish
  • Become a Fiscal Host (read more)
