Teaching Grants for Youth Programs

College, and other adult programs may apply for matching grants for books, or equipment. We do not offer teaching grants for these programs. 

Teachers will receive 1099 forms, as required by Federal law, for any payments totaling over $600 in a calendar year.

Visiting Professional Grants

The AGF encourages established Go programs to take advantage of the professional Go players residing here in America, both those certified by the AGA and by foreign organizations. We will pay 50% of the cost, up to $1,500 per program, for locations that bring a Pro out to teach. Travel, lodging, and professional fees are all eligible for reimbursement. Each location may request funding up to the $1,500 limit. AGF programs and AGA Chapters are both eligible for this grant. Requests will be considered on a first come first serve basis up to a cap of $15,000 for the year. To view a list of professionals living in the US, visit the AGA Professionals page.
