How we help

  • Provide scholarships for needy young Go enthusiasts to attend the AGA Summer Go Camp
  • Publish The Way to Go, the most widely read Go book in English (over 40,000 copies distributed)
  • Distribute free copies of Go As Communication, a new book about teaching Go, to teachers on request (copies still available!)
  • Purchase specialized equipment for Go instructors in schools
  • Help teachers to purchase additional equipment on a matching basis
  • Provide matching startup funds for new Go programs for children
  • Accept earmarked donations to support local programs, making those gifts tax-exempt
