The Pact Collective

Pact is a 501c3 supporting the local movements of NYC by providing insurance, legal support, and infrastructure to their multidisciplinary work. 



We are a fiscal host and community support network. 

Pact Collective fiscally hosts projects that operate in service of their neighborhoods. This means we manage financial infrastructure on behalf of community-led groups, including everything from managing donations, reimbursements, and expenses, to providing insurance coverage, and compliance support, and expenses. This work allows collectives to stay focused on their missions, without having to formalize as nonprofits. 

We took on this role in the wake of Open Collective Foundation’s shutdown, recognizing an urgent need to protect and sustain community-anchored initiatives in NYC. Our focus is on care work that is locally grounded, collectively governed, and impossible to automate.

We’re here to reduce the burden of administration and open up more space for community care, joy, and resilience. In addition to fiscal hosting, we offer:

    📝 Insurance coverage and compliance guidance
    ⚖️ Legal and tax infrastructure through our 501(c)(3) status
    🔨 Tools for fundraising, transparency, and coordination
    💭 Thought partnership and operations support
    💬 Knowledge sharing between collectives
We currently fiscally host a number of deeply rooted, high-impact projects working in care, nourishment, harm reduction, workers’ rights, and neighborhood safety. These include:
