The Living Memorial Chess Fund (LMCF)

The Living Memorial Chess Fund (LMCF), a tax deductible 501 (c) 3 fund, has provided hundreds of chess sets and boards to schools, libraries, junior chess clubs, human service organizations and community groups.

Please note we are in the process of refining the LMCF program, with an emphasis on needs-based support of schools and other organizations within Massachusetts, and to a limited extent, other states in New England.

Please donate to the LMCF. All donations are tax deductible and can be made on behalf of persons living or deceased. If person is living be sure to include his/her address; and we'll happy to send a card of acknowledging your thoughtfulness. Even if you do not want to honor someone you still can make a donation.

To give a permanent memorial to one who is deceased or an ongoing honor to one who is living, please consider a donation to the LMCF. A minimum donation of $35 is required to add his or her name to the LCMF List of Honored Persons. Please use this form to make a donation. Thank you!

Chess-related items for auction may be accepted, as well as your old chess, golf, bowling and similar trophies in good condition, which may be renewed and repurposed as prizes in future children's events. Please contact us in advance regarding any non-cash donations using this form. We appreciate your support!
