Dear Paige
Indeed, SCOSS recommends selected Open Science infrastructure for funding. We do not collect funds centrally since we believe in relationships being built between funder and service and in keeping costs down. Individuals or consortia can pledge amounts to any or all of the services we recommend. We provide information on each infrastructure on the SCOSS page when clicking the image entitled "New funding cycle launches². To pledge, download a flyer where you will also find the contact details of each infrastructure. We have made this a little clearer on the website. Hope this helps.
