An important financial update for the People’s Fridge

Hi friends, 

As patrons, community members, and/or team members, we want to keep you up-to-date on what’s going on with the People’s Fridge. Open Collective Foundation, our fiscal sponsor, is in a staged dissolution process and will be completely defunct by the end of this year. Read more about their decision and next steps. 

What this means for your patronage and People’s Fridge:

• We will no longer receive donations through the Open Collective Foundation after March 15, and we are actively looking for a new fiscal sponsor. 

• If you are a recurring contributor to the People’s Fridge, your contributions will pause after March 15. You will receive a separate email from Open Collection Foundations stating this as well.

• The People’s Fridge is working to reactivate recurring contributions by the end of March, and merging collectives by the end of April. 

• While we can’t accept fiscal contributions while we look for a new sponsor, we ask that you please continue to donate foods and groceries to the fridge.

• Fridge Friday is canceled until we have officially onboarded with a new sponsor.

How you can support The People’s Fridge during this time:

• Please continue to donate by fundraising and reaching out to hello@thepeoplesfridge215. 

• If you would like to become a recurring monetary contributor or resume your recurring contributions, keep an eye out for an email from us with more information. 

• Stay updated with our newsletter and on our website.

If you have any questions about this transition or your recurring contributions, please reach out to us at hello@thepeoplesfridge.org. Thank you so much for your continued support of The People’s Fridge.
