Open Collective team member here. This particular initiative is aimed at funding from major sponsors. Our platform also has crowdfunding functionality so projects can fundraise from individuals, too.
Almost all the corporate funding we facilitate is no strings attached, meaning the project creators and maintainers stay in the driver's seat when it comes to prioritisation. Some projects opt to make other commitments to funders but that's totally up to the project.
