LiberaPay takes nothing from donations, and while you can't run away from transaction fees, they incentivize grouping monthly donations into bigger timespans to reduce "waste" on fees.
Afaik OpenCollective doesn't take any cut either, but I'm not sure.

I donated on OpenCollective, you're right they don't take cuts from your donation, there's just an option to add a little something for them if you want, I liked the transparency.
I remember reading that they prefer you donate via Liberapay. Idk why that is, but that's what I did. Back when I first donated they were only getting $38 per week.

There is also a patreon and an opencollective donation link somewhere.
I also used LiberaPay to donate, and I also prefer it for it being free and opensource platform and it is a not-for-profit organization.
Nice, thanks for sharing. I'm considering running an instance and was wondering if/how I could get help funding it. Just gotta see if it works with Korean banks... probably not, but maybe it's an opportunity for open source contribution
