Founding Sponsorships Now Available

Along with launching a brand new website and revealing a brand new logo - the Northwest Arkansas Chess Center is now kicking off our first full year of fundraising to support scholastic chess in the Northwest Arkansas community!

All contributions made during 2022-2023 will go towards our first priority - supporting all of the chess programs in our local schools. By the end of 2023, we don’t want there to be a single scholastic chess club in Northwest Arkansas that doesn’t have enough chess sets and clocks to accommodate every child in their club.

As you can see on our donation page, we’ve added a temporary donation tier for 2022-2023 known as “Founding Sponsor” at the $100 level. This is just a special way to celebrate the beginning of the Northwest Arkansas Chess Center, and to give our thanks to those in the community who help us kickstart our mission from the very beginning.

Founding Sponsors will also forever be commemorated on the donations page of our website - right next to the Friends of the Northwest Arkansas Chess Center and corporate sponsors. And we’ll continue to think of special ways to further commemorate their initial support as the Northwest Arkansas Chess Center grows.

A very special thank you to all of our current Founding Sponsors, and to everyone who will join the list in 2022-2023. We can’t thank you enough for believing in our mission and helping us bring it to life.
