Aren't those operational costs in this case those payment processor fees? Because otherwise there should not be much difference.

- ocdtrekkie 2y agoNo. OpenCollective collectives effectively replace having to operate your own nonprofit organization. So it includes all of the legal, administrative, and accounting costs of operating a nonprofit on behalf of the participating collectives. I operate a collective which effectively operates as a 501c6 but I file no paperwork, OSC does for us.

I think you might have meant Open Collective fiscal hosts replace having to operate a nonprofit organisation? Unless I'm parsing your statements wrong.
- ocdtrekkie 2y agoYeah, I try not to get too in the weeds on terms when describing OpenCollective to people unaware. (Also the company, nonprofit, and biggest fiscal hosts have historically largely been run by the same folks.) The core point is just that OpenCollective is not just a payment processor.
- nicce 2y agoI think you missed my point. Or are you saying that if I pay with PayPal instead of Stripe, OpenCollective gets themselves more money?
