FINANCIAL PRINCIPLES

  • The Collins Coalition is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

  • We operate as a volunteer nonprofit organization funded entirely by donations from people like you. All donations support our operations and make it possible for us to bring you tournaments.

  • Donations support programs like our CoCo Scrabble Access Fund and Newcomer Discounts. These initiatives help to grow the game and make Scrabble accessible to everyone, regardless of physical or financial barriers.

  • We’re committed to transparency and accountability. That’s why we publish our budget and show you exactly how we spend every dollar we receive.

  • To promote fiscal responsibility, we encourage CoCo directors to share their estimated tournament budgets. You can see tournament budget details on each individual tournament’s page. For past tournaments, visit the Results page to see the budget details.
