# The Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS)

SCOSS is a consortium of organisations, founded in 2017, whose mission is to secure OA and open infrastructure financially by providing funding to non-commercial services on which open access and open science depend.

So far, it has provided c. $6.5m to fund over 15 infrastructures, among them (and at first) [DOAJ and SHERPA/RoMEO](https://sparceurope.org/8007-2/), and more recently [DOAB, ROR, arxiv, AJOL and others](https://scoss.org/how-it-works/current-funding-calls/). Many of the SCOSS members are library consortia or individual libraries.
