@gMoon A fair question and I wish it were possible! Unfortunately our fiscal sponsor on Open Collective would not allow Kickstarter contributions as expenses (as Kickstarter by definition is prepayments), per the documentation: https://docs.oscollective.org/for-hosted-member-projects/spending-money-and-getting-paid/expense-policies-and-limitations

What Open Source Collective can and cannot pay

@zachleat @gMoon I have a question related to this if you don’t mind; what actually happens with the Open Collective?

Will it continue as it has been, or gradually stop, now that the project has renamed and is being funded by kickstarter and pro-tier subs? (That’s probably an over-simplified way of looking at it - but to be clear I’m not asking with any snark)

@hejchristian @gMoon The Open Collective will continue, and we’ll continue to use the funds for the open source project and community expenses. I’ll post more about this on the 11ty Blog soon

@zachleat @gMoon

Awesome, thanks Zach :) I look forward to learning more on the 11ty (Build Awesome? 🙃) blog, and I'll continue to contribute what little I can to the Open Collective too 💜

@hejchristian @gMoon I’d encourage folks to support the Kickstarter if they want to chip in! (which I believe you may have already done, so thank you!)
