We are beginning a staged dissolution process that will allow our over 600 collectives the time to close or transition their work. Dissolving OCF will take many months, and involves settling all liabilities while spending down all funds in a legally compliant manner.

And it's not sustainable?

Open collective always looked successful, popular, sustainable, professional.

Really unfortunate for those 600. March 15 is very short term.

March 15 is the last day to accept donations. You will have until September 30 to work with us to develop and implement a plan to spend down the money in your fund.
