The Virginia Chess Federation (VCF) thanks you for considering a donation to further the game of Chess in Virginia and for Virginians!

To help you decide how to best contribute, here is the VCF Mission Statement from the VCF By-Laws: The VCF is organized exclusively for educational purposes, including:
- Promotion of the play of chess and tournament chess;
- Promoting and encouraging the study and play of the game of chess as a means of developing the intellectual powers;
- Disseminating information relative to the history and science of chess; teaching and cooperating with others in the teaching of the fundamentals of chess to persons of all ages without discrimination;
- Donating chess equipment to schools, colleges, hospitals, military installations, community centers, and similar institutions;
- Sponsoring, supervising, and conducting chess tournaments for junior players as a means of recreation and of combating juvenile delinquency;
- Sponsoring, supervising and conducting chess tournaments for members of the armed services of the United States;
- Cooperating with the United States Chess Federation (hereafter, “US Chess”) in selecting, training and improving the caliber of candidates representing the United States in international competition, and assisting in financing their participation in such competitions; and,
- Making distribution to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under the Section 50l(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or corresponding section of the future Tax Code.
Based on the VCF Mission Statement, we have created several categories to which you may donate based on our Mission Statement. They are the only choices. You cannot, for instance, donate to the VCF and ask that the donation go to a specific Player or School. You can, however, aim your donation, for instance, to Scholastic Chess in the Roanoke area, or Community Centers in downtown Richmond.
