Individual Donations

Your tax-deductible donation to the CoLab Debate startup campaign will make an immediate impact, whether your giving level is $20 or $20M.  

We use Zeffy, a free platform, to ensure we receive 100% of your donation. Alternatively, you can mail a check to CoLab Debate (C/o Inquiring Systems, Inc., 1275 4th Street, #371, Santa Rosa, CA 95404). If you would like to donate via donor advised fund or by wire, please contact Emily Cordo at emily@colabdebate.org.

Recurring Donations

Most nonprofit income is unpredictable and inconsistent, but you can help CoLab Debate develop the stable funding base we need by setting up a recurring tax-deductible donation.

Your monthly donation will fund great programming, and will help establish a healthy financial foundation to support CoLab Debate in our startup period and beyond.

Scholarships and Endowments

CoLab Debate offers fully funded scholarships to our Summer Institute for Debate and Advocacy for systems-impacted high school debaters. Scholarships are all-inclusive, including room, board, travel, instruction, facilities, staffing, and supplies.

CoLab Debate’s major donors may elect to name a scholarship (e.g., memorial, honorific, or self-named awards) for a three-year period. If you’re interested in scholarship naming opportunities, reach out to Emily Cordo at emily@colabdebate.org.
