I will second Open Collective. We use them for the PHP Community Mastodon instance. However, please note that Open Source Collective (which is a collective under the Open Collective umbrella, but it is not Open Collective itself — an important distinction) is a 501(c)(6). In the US, donations to a 501(c)(6) are _not_ tax deductible. As always, consult a tax professional on these things (I am not one). Just be sure you’re clearly stating this in messaging if you decide to set up under the umbrella of any 501(c)(6). :-) Cheers, Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PHP Framework Interoperability Group" group.
