Open Collective *Foundation* shut down very abruptly; they were the fiscal sponsor for several fedi projects and hundreds of others (for passersby, this meant that those projects could take money without incorporating as nonprofits).
Open Collective Inc is fine, they make the software/platform that provides infrastructure for project finances and are neutral about which fiscal sponsor a project uses.
(Source: My most recent project was fiscally sponsored by OCF.)
