2022 Found Word Scholarship
Tax deductible
This is the 10th year I have been doing this. 10 years. 10 years of words. 10 years of generous donations. 10 years of being able to change the life of a college student who might not otherwise be able to achieve their academic and career goals. 10 years of me dreaming big and finding that I am not dreaming TOO big. Because of each of you, I've been able to make a difference and I'm hoping this time - the 10th time - will be no different.
And so, I am inviting you to get yourself a copy of the 10th Found Word calendar – a weekly calendar containing all 365 Found Words from 2022. Once Go Fund Me takes its cut, all proceeds go directly to the FLCC Foundation, which is a 501 (c) (3) charitable corporation. The $2,000 Found Word Scholarship is given to a returning student in need who shows a love of language and the art of communication.
Thank you – thank you for keeping words alive, for pulling your language usage from the dusty corners of forgotten realms, for supporting a love of lexicons, a delight in dictionaries, and excitement for etymology. Let's make this one for the ages.
$5 - A PDF copy of the calendar
$10 - A hard copy of the calendar
$25 - A signed copy of the calendar
$50 - A signed copy of the calendar and a personal thank-you note
$100 - A signed copy of the calendar, a personal thank you note, and a laminated bookmark with this year's unique poem penned by me
$500 - All of the above plus something special that will be determined by myself and the winner
