Support Day & Knight

Invest in the Next Gen of Thinkers

Day & Knight Chess Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building disciplined, strategic thinkers through tournaments, academy training, and after-school programs. Your support funds scholarships, equipment, and free community events for students who couldn't otherwise take part.

Why Your Support Matters

Support from donors and sponsors helps fund our monthly tournaments and four free flagship community events, academy training and competitive development, after-school outreach programs, equipment such as boards and clocks, venue costs, and scholarship and access support based on both need and merit. Every contribution helps students build skills on and off the board. Your support ensures more students have access to the educational and competitive opportunities that chess provides.
