Daily Crossword Links’ Year-End Fundraiser

Something new from us: a fundraiser! As we share on our Support Us page, DCL has always been a free resource. Daily emails, News & Notes bulletins, and weekly (or so) recommendations posts will always be free.

But as time goes on, it’s more important that I recover some of my costs and acknowledge the time and energy DCL volunteers contribute to the site.

If you’re a fan of Brendan Emmett Quigley, you know he runs a semiannual fundraiser with a few exclusive bonus puzzles for donors. That’s our model – the DCL team has prepared four puzzles which we’ll happily send to solvers who make a donation of any size between now and the new year. We plan to do this again in June.

Information on how to donate can be found at our Support Us page. Please include your email address in the memo line and we’ll get the puzzles over to you. We’re still putting the finishing touches together, so the first batch of puzzles will be emailed this Saturday, 21 December.

You can donate any amount to DCL to get the pack. If you donated at any time in 2024, we’ll also happily share it with you. Depending on what information Venmo or PayPal shared with me, you might need to ping us at crosswordlinks [at] gmail [dot] com to share your email address, but I’ll be trying to reach you, too.

We are also happy to share the pack to anyone who donates $15 or more to a crossword tip jar or newly subscribes to an indie Patreon or subscription service. Your favorite constructor, AVCX, or Crosshare are all great options, among many others. Email a receipt of that donation or new subscription (between 12/17 and 12/31) to crosswordlinks [at] gmail [dot] com if you choose that route.

Once again: four puzzles available exclusively to donors who give before the new year. Donations to DCL of any size get the puzzles. New donations/subscriptions to other crossword places of $15 or more get the puzzles. If you donated to us earlier in 2024, we’ll get you the puzzles. Visit Support Us for information on making a donation to DCL.

Thank you for your support.
