The Open Collective Foundation is shutting down

The Open Collective
Foundation is an organization created to provide legal and financial services for non-profit projects, many of which are associated with free software. Projects hosted there are now beginning to report that the Open Collective Foundation will be shutting down at the end of the year, with an unwinding process over that time. Unfortunately, over the past year, we have learned that Open Collective Foundation's business model is not sustainable with the number of complex services we have offered and the fees we pay to the Open Collective Inc. tech platform. In late 2023, we made the decision to pause accepting new collectives in order to create space for us to address the issues. Unfortunately, it became clear that it would not be financially feasible to make the necessary corrections, and we determined that OCF is not viable. Some more information can be found in the Dissolution FAQ. Note that the Open Collective Foundation is distinct from Open Source Collective, which has hastened to point out that it remains in operation as before, and both are distinct from the Open Collective platform.
