The HelpChess Fundraiser during FIDE World Cup 2023

by Sagar Shah - 06/08/2023

HelpChess is the name of the ChessBase India Foundation that helps budding chess players who are in need of financial assistance. For the year 2022-23 HelpChess, which is an 80G registered Charitable Trust, helped chess players to the tune of Rs.26 lakh. This really helped some of the young talents, who were able to score their IM and GM norms and move towards their goals in chess. This year we would like to support even more chess players. This is the reason why during the FIDE World Cup 2023 livestreams, we are raising funds. In this article we will let you know what is it that you will get if you contribute and also the names and total amounts of each and every contributor who has donated money since the start of the World Cup 2023.

HelpChess Foundation works for the betterment of Indian chess players. Over the last 5 years of its functioning it has helped several chess players in their chess career. During the FIDE World Cup 2023 livestreams we are trying to raise funds so that more young talents can be supported. In the year 2022-23, HelpChess supported Indian chess players with Rs.26 lakh. We want to continue the support this year as well. The costs for travel, training, tournament participation is quite high for a budding chess talent. It can go as high we Rs.10 lakh a year for someone who is trying to become an International Master and even higher for those attempting to become grandmasters.

The talents we have supported in 2022-23. Read all about them here.

In a bid to financially support more players we are raising funds during our FIDE World Cup streams.

How can you contribute?

Recently we have created a dedicated website for HelpChess - www.helpchess.org. You can go to the website and make a contribution. You become a believer of Indian chess when you contribute an amount to the cause. If you decide to contribute anything above Rs.50,000 then you become a Big Believer.

As you go to the HelpChess.org website, you will see two buttons where you can contribute to become a believer or a big believer.

What will you get on contributing?

The perks of being a Believer are:

1. Scholarship money goes to a player in need (selected by HelpChess)

2. Mention in HelpChess blogs (like this one!) and fund report

3. Certificate of Appreciation

4. Regular updates on the players who are sponsored

 

The perks of being a Big Believer are:

1. Scholarship in your name to any player of your choice (if you have a preference)

2. Exclusive Invite for playing HelpChess Simul with a top grandmaster

3. Certificate of Appreciation

4. 1:1 Interaction & regular updates on the player you sponsor

Each and every person who contributes immediately gets this certificate of appreciation in their inbox

A receipt that will help you claim 80G tax benefits when you file your income tax return

Details of the people who have contributed

At ChessBase India we have always believed in the highest level of transparency when it comes to raising funds for chess players. We want to ensure that each and every penny that you contribute is used in an appropriate manner. Below we have a list of viewers who have contributed during different days of the livestream through the HelpChess website. A big thank you to each one of you and we hope to be able to raise maximum funds so that we can help many more young talents reach their dreams of becoming a grandmaster for the country and beyond.

Prashant Singh, the founder and managing director of QuantBox contributed Rs.2,00,000. A big thanks to him for instituting the QuantBox Research scholarship with HelpChess.This is sure to help talented youngsters of Indian chess.

I met Neeraj Kumar at the Chess Olympiad 2022. He was staying at the same hotel as Amruta and me. This picture was taken at the breakfast on one of the days of the event. Neeraj mentioned that he would contribute Rs.50,000 for every Indian who qualifies to the Candidates. Although only Pragg qualified to the Candidates from the World Cup, Neeraj is confident that one more would be added and hence contributed Rs.1,00,000.

We will update the other Big Believers with their pictures here shortly.

Total Amount: Rs. 10,63,193.55

If we add to this the amount of Prashant Singh (Rs.1,95,634 after Payment Gateway Charges) to the above amount raised, the total amount comes to Rs.12,58,827.55

All the records of each and every contributor are thoroughly maintained by ChessBase India's head of sales and marketing Supriya Bhat

A big shoutout to our senior software developer Adarsh Bhadauria for making sure that each and every person who contributes immediately gets a certificate and receipt in their inbox
