What does DONATE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To give money, goods, or time to a person, cause, or organization without expecting payment.
Donate is most often used for charitable giving, whether it is money handed to a charity, food given to those in need, or time offered as volunteer work. The word is also used for giving parts of the body, as when a person donates blood or an organ for transplantation or research.
