Support Chess for Success: Empower Tomorrow’s Leaders

At Chess for Success, we believe in the transformative power of chess and its ability to nurture critical life skills in our youth.

We are dedicated to bringing the benefits of chess to youth in Oregon, Southwest Washington, and Hawaii, and we can’t do it alone. We rely on the support of our generous community partners, through grants, sponsorships, and donations that bridge the funding gap and allow us to deliver high quality after-school programs.

Your support is essential to our mission, and there are several meaningful ways you can get involved and make a lasting impact.

Make a Donation

Your financial contribution directly supports our programs, enabling us to provide chess education to youth who need it most. Every dollar counts, no amount is too small, and your donation can make a significant difference, helping us expand our reach and make chess accessible to even more young learners.
