# Contributions in cryptocurrencies

Source: https://www.opensourceeurope.org/docs/how-it-works/financial-contributions-how-to-donate/contributions-in-cryptocurrencies/

OSE Collectives can receive cryptocurrency donations through the established route:

Every.org → Myriad USA → Open Collective Europe Foundation (OCEF) → OSE → the Collective’s budget on Open Collective.

## Set up the donation page

Contact OSE first at <home@opensourceeurope.org>. The team creates and hosts an Every.org page for your Collective and provides the applicable instructions, documents, fees and transfer information. Every.org is the required starting point for this cryptocurrency route.

## Receive and transfer funds

Cryptocurrency is converted into conventional currency before it is allocated to the Collective. OSE does not pay cryptocurrency out to the Collective.

The Collective may ask OSE at any time to transfer the funds received on Every.org to its Open Collective budget. The team handles the intermediary steps. A request does not mean an immediate payout. No fixed twice-yearly transfer schedule applies.

## Fees

See the [current OSE fee reference](https://www.opensourceeurope.org/docs/faq/general-faqs/#how-much-does-it-cost). Contact OSE for the applicable processing, conversion and intermediary costs before sending funds. Do not assume a combined fee or transfer date.
