DMV Chess · School Affiliate Program
Help kids grow through chess. Raise funds for your school.
Share Chess Foundations, our online after-school chess club, with your families. Your school or parent association earns a standard commission of $40 per student per month (continuous monthly payment as long as the student remains in the class), and students who register with your school’s referral code receive $25 off every month for as long as they stay enrolled.
Commissions apply only to Chess Foundations and are prorated when less than a full month’s tuition is collected. See the commission details below.
For schools and their PTAs, PTOs, and home and school associations.
A partnership with a purpose
In addition to being a revenue source for your school or parent association, our programs are first and foremost an opportunity for children to think, grow, learn, and socialize—all while having fun.
Our online after-school club is already up and running, with students from schools across the country. Your families can join an existing program from home. Learn more about the online chess club.
A $25/month lifetime discount for your families
Students who register for Chess Foundations using your school’s unique referral code receive $25 off their monthly tuition. This discount remains in effect for as long as they stay continuously enrolled in Chess Foundations.
Families save on an ongoing chess program while supporting their school community.
How much can your school or PTA earn?
Your school or parent association receives $40 for each referred student’s full month of Chess Foundations tuition collected at the referral-discounted rate. Commissions continue while the student remains enrolled and tuition is collected, with proration as described below.
| Referred students enrolled | Your monthly commission |
|---|---|
| 5 students | $200 |
| 10 students | $400 |
| 20 students | $800 |
These examples assume a full month’s tuition is collected for every student at the referral-discounted rate. Actual commissions depend on the number of referred students enrolled and the tuition collected.
Commission details
Chess Foundations only: This commission program applies exclusively to Chess Foundations. It does not apply to any of our other courses, camps, tournaments, or offerings.
Prorated commissions: If a student registers mid-month and pays partial tuition, or if less than the normal referral-discounted monthly tuition is collected for any reason, the commission is reduced proportionally to the tuition actually collected.

Your role
Help families discover the program by sharing information about the club.
Our role
We handle registration, instruction, and running the online club. Your school doesn’t need to provide classroom space, arrange instructors, or organize classes.
Common questions
What program would we be sharing?
You would be sharing Chess Foundations, our existing online after-school chess club. Students learn and practice chess while connecting with other children. Visit the after-school club page for program details and registration information.
Does our school need to start its own chess club?
No. Students join our existing online program from home. Your school does not need to host a club on site or manage registration.
Is the commission a one-time payment?
No. Commissions recur while the referred student remains enrolled in Chess Foundations and tuition is collected. The standard commission is $40 per student per month, with proportional reductions when less than the normal referral-discounted monthly tuition is collected.
How are referrals tracked and commissions paid?
Families use your school’s unique referral code when registering for Chess Foundations. The code identifies your school’s referrals and gives students their $25/month discount. We’ll confirm the commission payment method and schedule with you during setup.
Bring chess to your school community.
