Building the right tech stack is key

Chess is more than just a game; it’s a powerful tool that shapes young minds, fosters critical thinking, and builds lifelong skills. At the 1000GM Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of chess and are committed to bringing this wonderful game to every kindergartner in the United States. Join us on this exciting journey to empower the next generation through chess.

Why Chess?

Chess is known for its numerous benefits:

• Cognitive Development: Enhances memory, improves concentration, and sharpens problem-solving skills.
• Emotional Growth: Teaches patience, resilience, and how to handle both wins and losses gracefully.
• Social Skills: Encourages sportsmanship, strategic thinking, and the ability to plan ahead.

The 1000GM Foundation Mission

Our mission is simple yet ambitious: teach every kindergartner in the USA how to play chess. With 4 million kindergartners spread across 64,000 schools, we have a big task ahead of us. But with your help, we can make it happen.

For every $10 donated, we will distribute a chess starter package to a child. These packages are designed to ignite a passion for chess and provide a solid foundation for young players.

What Each Chess Starter Package Includes:

• A Magnetic Chess Set: Durable and designed for young children, these sets are perfect for home and classroom use.
