If you prefer, American Go Foundation you can make your contribution tax-deductible by donating to The American Go Foundation. Donations to the AGF will be earnarked solely for use by Bay Area Go Players Association, for projects consistent with the AGF mission and AGF's status as a 501(c)(3) charity. Just click the AGF logo to the left to donate by credit card or PayPal, or make your check payable to "American Go Foundation" and mail to our California mailing address shown above.

Although Bay Area Go Players Association is recognized by both the Internal Revenue Service and California's Franchise Tax Board as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, the tournaments we organize are considered by the IRS to be partly social rather than purely educational and thus donations made payable directly to Bay Area Go Players Association are not tax-deductible.

Bay Area Go Players Association does not charge membership dues, and the modest entry fees we charge at some of our events do not cover our expenses. We rely on energetic volunteers and financial support from the community in order to be able to bring activities of interest to Go players in Northern California and promote the game of Go through education and outreach.

Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering with Bay Area Go Players Association. We would really appreciate your help!
