Get Involved

Four ways to be
part of the mission.

Whether you donate, volunteer, or partner — every contribution goes directly toward empowering young people across India through education, sport, and health.

01 — Donate & Support

Support our work — and claim your 80G deduction.

The DR Foundation is 80G certified under the Income Tax Act, 1961 — meaning your donation is tax-deductible in India. Every rupee goes directly toward chess training, scholarships, and health programmes for underserved youth.
