Creating an Organization

You can start an organization on Open Collective, or migrate an existing Collective.

Becoming an Organization means that you can manage your funds in your own bank account.

You can opt to become independent and still use the features on the Open Collective platform. If you are currently fiscally hosted, you will no longer receive the admin support of a Fiscal Host, which means you will need to handle your own finances, accounting, and liability.

If you are not sure you are able to manage your project's finances or admin effectively, you should seriously consider applying to a Fiscal Host.
