Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@columbiachess.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What are the different donation levels?

You are welcome to donate any amount or items you choose. To specially recognize your support of the Columbia Chess Club, we will list your name and the year of your donation in one of the following categories:

Morphy Donor: $1000 and above

Capablanca Donor: $500-999

Botvinnik Donor: $250-499

Vera Menchik Donor: $100-249

Patron: Under $100

Is my donation tax deductible?

Unfortunately, no. The Columbia Chess club is a small group of volunteers and is currently without the resources required to organize as a 501(c)(3) and qualify under IRS rules, but we aspire to address this issue as we grow.

I do not want my donation to be made public, is that OK?

Absolutely. We list our donors as a thank you for their support, but if you prefer your name not to be listed on our donations page, just let us know by emailing info@columbiachess.org.

Can I donate with a check instead?

Yes. Checks can be mailed payable to the "Columbia Chess Club" at the following address: 6169 St. Andrews Rd., Suite A, Columbia, SC 29212

Do you accept non-cash donations?

Yes. If you have chess literature, equipment such as sets or clocks, or some other item you think would be of use to the Club, please reach out to us at info@columbiachess.org.
