Naming things is hard, as software engineers know. It's only OCF that's shutting down, not OC, or OCE, or OSC, or even OCNZ (I just found out about that one today).

In any case, there are plenty of other funding models/sites out there, the trick is finding one that really fits how your FOSS project works:

Its just one financial host that is closing down. Most open source is on a different host called "Open SOURCE Collective". The platform still stays and there is no need to migrate to something else for open source projects.

Open Collective isn't shutting down - open-source funding is unaffected. The Open Collective _Foundation_ (OCF) appear to be part of the funding structure for open collective sponsorship of charitable but not necessarily open source organisations in the US, and only groups using the OCF to host their finances are affected.
