Emailed with Kate Stewart and asked if we can use financial hosts - we OK to get sponsorships via multiple ways (OpenCollective, LFX, ACT, etc.).

Not that ORT is part of ACT is registered under is 501c6 - this is something commonly asked in the forms when joining a financial host

Next topic is to look into OpenCollective - open questions include:

• How does it work? -> https://opencollective.com/how-it-works
• How do we set it up? -> https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/github-sponsors
• What does it cost? -> https://opencollective.com/pricing /
• How are pay outs handed? -> They support PayPal see https://docs.opencollective.com/help/fiscal-hosts/payouts/payouts-with-paypal#paypal-payouts
