Give The Gift of Chess - Help us Donate 1 Million Chess Sets

Tax deductible
The Gift of Chess is a 501(c)(3) recognized charity that started in December 2020. During the height of the pandemic, we distributed 10,000 chess sets to students across New York City as a tool to help them reconnect physically during a difficult time of isolation.



Since then, our mission has spread into a global initiative with the goal of donating 1 million chess sets by 2030.


Our chess sets reach schools, orphanages, prisons and community centers as a low-cost tool to spark incredible opportunity.


To date we have secured over 125,000 chess sets for distribution reaching 35 countries across the world.




100 Percent of the proceeds will be used to support our chess set distribution globally including the purchase of chess sets, costs for transporting the chess sets, and stipends to our global ambassadors to help support their efforts.
