# Giving as a Company

With Open Collective, companies can support one or many collectives doing great work, and even empower your employees to back projects and causes.

Open Collective doesn’t just support individual contributions. We can help your company give to collectives you care about.

We also provide customizable reports and receipts that can be generated for your tax reporting.

To make a contribution as a company, you will need an organization account. You will need to give through this account if you want your company link and logo to appear on the Collective's "Contributors" page.

{% hint style="success" %}
Go to our [Creating an Organization](/getting-started/creating-an-organization.md) section to learn about setting up and personalizing your organization on Open Collective.
{% endhint %}

Once you’ve done this:

1. Select a Collective and go to their “Contribute To…” page as normal.
2. Select your amount and the frequency of your donation, or pick a pre-defined tier.
3. When you are asked who you want to Contribute As, select your Organization from the drop-down menu.

### Find out more

There are other ways to make contributions to Collectives as a company, and to encourage your employees to do the same. With the support of companies like yours, Collectives can take their work to the next level. Here’s how to get started:

\
[**Create a fund**](/giving-to-collectives/giving-as-a-company/creating-a-fund.md)

Setting up a fund allows you to create a pot of money that can be tracked and distributed over time.

[**Bulk transfers**](/giving-to-collectives/giving-as-a-company/bulk-transfers.md)

Save money on transaction processing fees by sending one lump sum to your Organization and spending it on multiple donations.

[**Gift Cards (Discontinued)**](/giving-to-collectives/giving-as-a-company/gift-cards.md)

Gift cards can no longer be created or claimed. Already-issued cards and recurring contributions paid with them keep working.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.opencollective.com/giving-to-collectives/giving-as-a-company.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
