For Projects & Communities

We take care of the paperwork, payments and administrative overhead so you can focus on maintaining your project and your community.

Fiscal Hosting

TMF provides a legal and financial home for their projects, allowing them to receive and manage funds without forming their own legal entity. We accept donations on behalf of our hosted projects and take care of everything that comes with holding funds, including taxes and accounting.

Domain Transfers and Registrations

We can help you with Domain Registration, to have us manage your domain, you can do the following:

• Transfer your existing domain
• Email us to register a domain on your behalf

We suggest using DNS management tools like Cloudflare. Once a domain is registered/transferred, you will be added as a Domain Manager on our provider.

Every time we have to re-pay the domain registration fee, we will notify you in advance and create an expense for it once paid.

Legal Support

TMF offers legal support to our hosted projects, including:

• Assistance with contracts and agreements
• Guidance on compliance with relevant laws and regulations

Our goal is to help you navigate the legal landscape so you can focus on your project.

For Sponsors

Our goal is to make it easy to fund the projects you care about. Whether you're giving back to a single project or supporting multiple initiatives, TMF provides a streamlined process for making donations.
