The United States Chess Federation is a not-for-profit membership organization based in Crossville, Tennessee, dedicated to expanding chess's role in American society. It promotes the study and enjoyment of chess as both an art and a vehicle for social development, informing, educating, and developing players at all levels. It aims to build a nationwide network of clubs, state and regional associations, and schools to support the growth of chess. The federation serves players, coaches, clubs, and educational institutions by advancing chess education and community-building initiatives across communities within the philanthropic fundraising services landscape. Its work centers on expanding access to chess through schools and local organizations, aligning with its mission to foster the game's development nationwide. In January 2025, US Chess announced the appointment of Jacques deMoss as Deputy Executive Director, reflecting ongoing leadership development.
