Members

Add or update the people who have access to admin your host organization, pay expenses, approve new Collectives (core contributors).

Expenses

This is a very important section, where you can input your expense policy. This information shows up at the top of the screen when people are submitting new expenses to Collectives you host.

We recommend including:

  • What documentation is required for expenses to be paid (eg, receipts)

  • Your payment schedule (how often you process expenses)

  • Whether you are willing to make manual payments, or Paypal only

  • Address and legal entity name for invoices to bill to

  • An invoice template (example)

  • Information on where to go for help with expenses

Note: Collectives can also have an expense policy, which appears alongside the host policy. This is often focused on what kinds of activities the Collective will approve expenses for.

Payment Methods

You can add a credit card here if you want to make contributions to Collectives as your organization. You can also specify a limit. This is often used by companies who have multiple people spending their contribution budget.

Advanced

In the advanced section you can:

  • Change the URL of your host page

  • Adjust PDF settings

  • Change host fee

  • Turn off or on applications from Collectives
