Open Collective is a crowdfunding platform focused on grassroots groups. It gives organizations, communities, projects to get a legal status and raise funding through subscription or one time payment. It's particularly favoured by open source projects. It currently hosts funding for thousands of open-source communities.

Could you make it something simple ? For a child to understand ?

It's a fundraising platform that also publishes all financial information publicly. At least, that's my impression.

Liberapay is an open source nonprofit option.
