We welcome projects scaling beyond our fiscal host program to explore independent hosting options. If you're considering leaving TMF, please reach out to discuss the process and any potential implications for your project.

Moving On from TMF to Another Fiscal Sponsor / Legal Entity

If your project is ready to move on from TMF, we're here to support that and help facilitate the transition. We're happy to transfer any funds held on behalf of your project to another non-profit fiscal host/sponsor, as long as the funds will continue to support the modding ecosystem around the game(s) your project is focused on. We will work with you to ensure a smooth transition and provide any necessary documentation or support during the process.

Before we can initiate the fund transfer, we will need you to provide the following information:

• Name and URL of the project's Open Collective profile
• Name of the nonprofit entity acting as fiscal host
• Country and state/province (if applicable) of registration of the nonprofit entity.
• Assets that need to be transferred
• Full name and email address of the signatory for the Collective
• Full name and email address of the signatory for the new fiscal host
• A copy of the new fiscal host's non-profit determination letter.

Please email the above information to hello@modding.foundation and we'll let you know the next steps.

Closing your project

If you decide to close your project entirely, please let us know so we can assist you with the process. This may include transferring any remaining funds to a designated account or organization, as well as providing any necessary documentation to finalize the closure.

You need to do the following:

• Verify all associated expenses with your project have been submitted, approved and processed for payment.
• We may need to hold back funds if you have any outstanding contracts with unbilled amounts or non-transferable grants.
• If we hold domains on behalf of your project, please make a complete list of all assets that should be transferred.
• Notify sponsors with recurring sponsorships or any institution that has provided grants, and inform them that you are shutting down or where you are moving to.
