Help us raise money to hire coaches for the 2024-2025 school year!

In 2023-2024, we received a grant to put coaches in Columbus City Schools and currently have six coaches in eight different schools. We hope to continue this partnership and expand for next year.

$20 covers the cost of one coach for one week

$30 covers the tournament fees for one scholastic tournament

$50 covers the cost of one state tournament

$100 covers one month of coaching for one school

$350 covers half a year of coaching for one school

$700 covers one coach for one year

We are trying to raise money for:

12 schools to have coaches: $8400
Supporting students at tournaments: $1600
$10,000 total

For a donation of at least $50, you will receive a Columbus Chess Academy t-shirt.

For a donation of at least $100, you will receive a commemorative CCA chess board and t-shirt.

Donors of any amount will be invited to a Columbus Chess Academy hosted Meet & Greet and Invitational Tournament. Date and location TBD. T-shirts and boards will be passed out at the Meet & Greet.

Go to columbuschessacademy.org to learn more about our nonprofit and to see our upcoming events. Bios of our coaches will be up soon!

In the meantime, here are other things Columbus Chess Academy has done and can help you do:

Help you start a chess club at your school
Provide donations to your school/club
Have coaches in Columbus City Schools
Host multiple tournaments a year
Sponsor students for tournaments
Help you become a tournament director
Host summer camps
Have a monthly newletter about chess events in Columbus

NOTE: Your donation is tax-deductible but your ‘tip’ to Givebutter is not.
