Open Collective takes 5% and the other 5% goes to the non profit that provides fiscal sponsorship for the projects.

That’s still a lot, I think. Compared to other charities using a site like charitynavigator.org you can see that is a high price for a charity.

It’s also an odd legal structure to separate the platform from a non-profit to do admin tasks, since non-profits are not really that good at doing admin and compliance.
