@danirabbit@mastodon.online we have had a pretty good experience with it in pmos, although i haven't been directly involved in expenses and stuff it's fairly straightforward as i understand it. ofc it depends on what fiscal host you use since they are responsible for actually managing the funds and approving invoices and stuff

@danirabbit@mastodon.online Both @owncast@social.owncast.online and @liblast@mastodon.gamedev.place use OpenCollective, and I think the experience has been pretty good for them.

@danirabbit@mastodon.online depending on your fiscal host you could get a debit card from them. But they might have ended that recently I'm not so sure. We applied but never got it a while ago. Usually I have to just fill out invoices and send them receipts to get payed back

@danirabbit@mastodon.online I am using it to administer a grant to #pkgconf relating to SBOM work. The person doing the work covered by the grant invoices the collective and then I approve it once we come to an agreement for the invoice amount based on the scope of work for each phase.

A lot of non profit org here -1901 french law- are benefitting if this clear and simple access to simple funding https://www.helloasso.com/ Where financial contribution is ethic -you pay what you want, if you want-. Opencollective is just another financial project, from 5 to 10% if your income - opaque taxes - and supposed to be closed soon.
