The Gift of Chess

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.

This holiday season, you can help support our mission by purchasing your very own The Gift of Chess chess set, designed and manufactured in the USA.
