Hi — I'm Savvy, the Young Minds Chess assistant. Looking to enroll a child, donate, volunteer, or learn about our programs? I'm here to help.
Every dollar funds chess sets, instruction time, technology access, and tournament travel for kids who would not otherwise have it. We are a federally recognized 501(c)(3) — your contribution is tax-deductible.
One-time or monthly. Card, PayPal, or Venmo. You stay right here on this page, and your receipt lands in your inbox immediately.
Young Minds Chess Foundation is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. No PayPal account is required to give by card.
Giving by check, stock, donor-advised fund, or corporate match? Use the form below.
We're transparent about where dollars go. Here's a sample of what a gift at each level funds.
A weighted-piece tournament set and roll-up board for a kid to take home and practice between sessions.
Funds one child's instruction time, equipment, and program materials for a full month at one of our partner sites.
Fully funds a partner school's chess club for a semester — equipment, instruction, and end-of-term tournament.
Underwrites an entire school's annual chess program. Naming acknowledgment available on request.
Some gifts do not belong on a card. Use this form for checks, stock transfers, donor-advised funds, in-kind donations of equipment, or corporate matching. Charell will follow up personally to coordinate and provide your tax documentation.
Volunteer your time. Bring a program to your child's school. Connect us with a corporate sponsor. Share our story. Every move counts.
