Request Access
Approval-based access to specialized Foundation spaces and resources
Purpose of Access Requests
Certain Cleveland Chess Foundation spaces and resources are intentionally governed to preserve their quality, focus, and long-term value.
Access requests allow the Foundation to support serious study, instruction, and research while maintaining fair availability and appropriate use of specialized environments.
Who Should Request Access
Requests for access are appropriate for:
• Members seeking use of approval-based spaces such as the Smart Play & Study Room or Advanced Analysis Room
• Coaches and instructors requesting space for structured instruction or training
• Researchers and translators working with specialized or archival materials
• Ohio-based chess-related 501(c)(3) organizations seeking to host programs or events
• Institutional partners coordinating aligned initiatives with the Foundation
Review & Approval
Access requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Foundation’s Executive Director, with oversight from the Board of Directors.
Evaluation considers experience level, intended use, scheduling impact, and alignment with the Foundation’s mission and standards.
Availability
The Cleveland Chess Foundation is currently in an active development and build-out phase.
Formal access request submissions will be introduced once Foundation spaces, systems, and programs are fully operational.
