# Giving to Collectives

Whether you’re an individual or a company, you can make contributions to collectives you support through Open Collective.

Collectives around the world are doing great work. But they need support to thrive.\
\
Using Open Collective, you can search for groups that share your ideals or interests and back them with a one-off or regular donation. You can even contribute directly to a Fiscal Host to support organizations working with many collectives at once.

Open Collective makes this process easy. You can contribute as an individual or as a company, and we even provide an annual report which you can download for tax purposes.

# 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-to-collectives.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.
