Application

The purpose of the Andy Nowak Youth Chess Fund is to support youth chess activities in New Mexico. These activities might include support for workshops, classes, tournaments, scholarships, travel, trainings, and other special chess-related projects.

Funding cycles are variable, and at this time they also depend on the vagaries of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our next cycle, 2022-05 is now open. You may apply any time until 2022-05-31. We will have other application cycles in the future, our aim is 4 per year.

Please fill out the form below and submit it. If you would like some ideas on what might go into a grant proposal you can find some here.

If you have received grants from us in the past then you might have been asked to satisfy some condition - for example, if you organize a statewide tournament you must have a web site in which you report results. New grants will be contingent upon you having satisfied requirements from previous grants.

We will ask for some personal information (name and email address, for example). These will only be used for this evaluation of your application.

If you have trouble with the form please send email to nowak.fund@gmail.com or phone Mark Galassi at +1 (505) 629-0759 and we can help you fill and submit the form.
