Sponsorship That Sparks Change
When you sponsor A Step Ahead Chess, you're not just giving a gift, you’re investing in a future leader.
Every dollar fuels mentorship, mindset, and momentum. You help build resilience, confidence, and critical thinking in youth who are ready to rise. And while no amount is too small, it takes just $500 to sponsor one STORMER for an entire semester, giving them access to chess instruction, mentorship, leadership development, and a community that believes in their brilliance.
Your donation is 100% tax-deductible, but its impact? Beyond measure.
Why Chess? Why Now?
The board may be 64 squares, but the lessons are infinite.
In a changing world, our hybrid model now reaches STORMERS near and far, meeting young people at a critical time with tools that sharpen their minds and strengthen their spirits. Whether in person or online, the mission remains: to build up youth who know how to lead, adapt, and thrive.
Join Us. Make Your Move.
You are not a bystander in this story, you’re a catalyst. A champion. A storm-starter.
