Beehaw uses Open Collective Europe Foundation (OCEF) as a fiscal host.
OCEF charges an 8% Host Fee on Revenue
OCEF uses the Open Collective Platform for the various functions and services it provides (like payment processing and accounting tools)
The Open Collective Platform charges a 15% Revenue Share for Fiscal Hosts that collect donations through the platform.
Any tip given to the platform does not go to Beehaw at all.
All of the above is in addition to payment processing fees charged by Stripe.
It amazing how har thes companies fight against the things are the most effective (taxes).
