The US Chess Trust |
The U.S. Chess Trust is an independent 501(c)(3), non-profit organization.
Created in 1967, the Trust was organized to promote, stimulate and encourage the study
and play of the game of chess as a means of intellectual development. The Trust uses its
resources for charitable purposes, including social, educational, scientific, historical
endeavors. The Trust's focus is an outgrowth of similar activities formerly carried out
by the U.S. Chess Federation.
More and more scientific studies have confirmed that children who are taught chess,
in addition to their regular courses, do better in school. Studies report that chess helps
develop valuable reading and decision-making skills, and improves students' ability to
concentrate. The U.S. Chess Trust takes an active role in supporting chess
education programs across the nation.
Through your tax-deductible contribution to The U.S. Chess Trust, you can make
a difference in the life of a young person. Ben Franklin Donors ($500 or more) and
Heritage Donors ($125 or more) will receive all the benefits listed below and have
their names published in Chess Life. In addition, these donors, upon request, will
receive a numbered copy of the limited edition Hall-of-Fame History of U.S. Chess,
the most unique history of American chess ever written! Future editions of the
Hall-of-Fame History of U.S. Chess will include the names of all past
Heritage Donors. Associates (donors of at least $50) and Contributors
(donors of $25 or more) will have their names published throughout the year in
Chess Life and listed on this webpage.
Mail your contributions to: Managing Director Barbara DeMaro, The U.S. Chess Trust,
P.O. Box 838, Wallkill, NY 12589.
To qualify for your tax deduction, please make your check payable to the
