CHECKMATE FOUNDATION

Making chess more accessible to everyone.

ABOUT US

A YOUTH INITIATIVE, FOR EVERYONE

A registered non-profit that provides opportunities to different communities to foster development and inclusion through chess education.

OUR PROCESS:

We host tournaments, workshops, structured programming in schools and the community. While most of our events are open to everyone. We also run separate events focused on vulnerable, underrepresented or marginalized groups.

“Playing chess helps my mental health. I can relax and play a game with others[...] Chess is an important part of my life and my recovery process. The foundation has made playing chess possible again."
