Donations

We’re here because of you.

We operate as a nonprofit organization, funded entirely by donations from people like you. We’re committed to financial transparency and publish our budget online so you can track every dollar we spend. We appreciate contributions of any amount and are eternally grateful to our donors for making it possible for us to serve the Scrabble community. To get involved or help in any way you like, contact us.

If you would like to donate to the CoCo with a check instead of an online donation, here’s how you can do it:

  • Make the check payable to: COLLINS COALITION

  • Mail the check to this address: Collins Coalition, c/o Jennifer Clinchy, PO Box 257, PMB9944, Olympia, WA, 98507-D257
