Setting up a Fiscal Host

Create a Fiscal Host on Open Collective, and customize your info and settings to give Collectives an idea of what you offer

Establishing a Fiscal Host on the platform is just the first step. We recommend that you fill in all your details and settings, including your information, policies, fees, and security. This makes it easier to connect with the Collectives that match your mission.
