2023 Found Words Calendar

I cannot believe we have been doing this for 11 years now. In some ways, nothing has changed; I still love language, I still love teaching, and I still love being able to help people who need help. That said - many things HAVE changed. The world seems more crazy and chaotic than it has in years past and many out there are struggling. Each year, I worry that we won't be able to raise the funds to keep this scholarship going. And each year, I'm so pleased to be proven wrong. Join us once more on this journey of hard work and dream building. If you're new here - thank you for joining us. I'm so glad you are here and I am so glad you are going to help. Every little bit counts, and every big amount counts, too.

Whatever your donation, I am inviting you to get yourself a copy of the 11th Found Word calendar – a weekly calendar containing all 365 Found Words from 2023. 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. The tiers, as always, are as follows:

$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
