Crowdfunding

The Munich Chess Festival 2025 is organized and carried out on a voluntary basis, with dozens of helpers investing a lot of time and energy. Nevertheless, such a large event entails many costs – from room rental and material costs to the necessary prize money for the top international players. 

To finance these costs, the Munich Chess Festival eV is running a crowdfunding campaign. With your donation, you can help make the Munich Chess Festival a success, spread the appeal of chess and create a basis for its continuation in future years. In addition, you can receive special ‘thank you’ gifts for certain donation amounts, such as participation in a simultaneous game with a GM in Gasteig. Every crowdfunder will be invited to special events of the chess festival as the opening ceremony of the festival in Gasteig and the opening ceremony of the Whitsun Open in Pelkovenschloessl. You can contribute here.
