Liberapay is "a non-profit organization founded in 2015 in France"[2][3] providing a platform to donate money to teams, organizations and individuals. The service does not charge a fee on donations aside from that required by its payment processors, instead financing its own activity through donations handled by the service itself in the same way as donations to third-parties are handled.[2]

Liberapay began as a European fork of the now-defunct US-based platform Gratipay, which had underwent changes after facing legal issues.[4]

Notable projects on Liberapay include

.

Liberapay shares similarities with the for-profit platform Patreon, but it does not allow creators to reward their patrons like Patreon does. This difference in the nature of the transactions has tax implications, for example Patreon collects VAT on all payments made from inside the European Union[10] whereas Liberapay does not[11].
