As we expand our partnerships with more companies, schools and individual clients, we find it is more important than ever to give back to the community.
These are the four primary ways we do that:
We donate 1-hour virtual group lessons for students of all ages and skill
levels to schools and non-profits. Organizations including Rabbi Levi Welton’s Young Professionals organization and The Filipino School of New York & New Jersey, have recently raised hundreds of dollars through our fundraisers.
2)Silent Auction/ Raffle Donations
We have donated lessons and silent auction/raffle items for 200+ virtual and in-person fundraisers all around the world. If you have an upcoming fundraiser anywhere in the world, we’d love to donate a virtual group class for up to 10 children or adults, valued at $400.
3) Silent Auctions at Our Own Tournaments
Unfortunately due to obvious circumstances, we have not run any in-person tournaments in a while; however, we have raised thousands of dollars for many great non-profits, including Chess in the Schools, Make a Difference Now, and Metro World Child at our events in the past and looking forward to doing so again in the future when possible.
4)Pro-Bono Teaching
We have limited resources available for pro-bono classes and workshops.
Some examples have been:
If you are a high school or college student or an adult, apply to join us on our 3rd Annual Trip, July 11-18, 2021.
–Elective at Metro World Child Summer Camp
–Classes at Pompano Beach Treatment Center and Blair Middle School in conjunction with NSCF
–Virtual Class with Pingnatuk Chess Club in Alaska

Hi Evan,
This is Ann Stage from the Nicollet knights chess club of Burnsville, MN. We used your online class last year for our on-line silent auction and we are hoping we can use it again. Our auction this year is March 12-24th 2023 using 32auctions and we will reach the entire Minneapolis/St Paul metropolitan area. Please let me know if you would be willing to donate a class again this year. Last year we had 7 kids take your class. It was so helpful since we send a team every year to the National Middle school chess championships. This year it is in Austin Texas in April.
Thank you so much again for considering us.
