We would like to people various opportunities to get involved with the New England Masters by offering a variety of sponsorship opportunities.  All sponsorships and donations will help the tournament and the participants in some shape or form.
 
TOURNAMENT SPONSOR - $1,500
We are looking for a title sponsor for the New England Masters.  Your name will be associated with the tournament in whatever marketing, advertising and publicity the tournament produces as well as the live coverage which proves very popular once the tournament begins.  Flyers are being displayed at major tournaments around the country and the website is advertised in various places on the web.  Last year's event had a four page report in Chess Life magazine and Chess Life Online as well as reports on popular chess websites such as The Independent, Susan Polgar's Blog and Chessdom.
GRANDMASTER SPONSORS - $500
To run an event like the New England Masters, it is very important to have Grandmasters participate in the event so that we can award norm opportunities.  Each of the Grandmasters that are participating are available for sponsorship.  Your name or company will be associated with the Grandmaster of your choice whenever he is mentioned.  Use the comments section to choose the Grandmaster you wish to sponsor.
BULLETIN SPONSOR - $300
A daily bulletin will be produced similar to the bulletins that were part of the Las Vegas Masters 2006.  The bulletin will be named after the person or company who sponsors this particular project.
SPECIAL PRIZE SPONSOR - $150/PRIZE
We are looking for sponsors for a Best Game Prize, Brilliancy Prize, Fighting Chess Award or any other prize a person wishes to create for the players to have an opportunity to show their skills and enhance their opportunity to reap some small rewards for their participation.  Use the comment section to inform us of the prize you would like to sponsor.
PLAYER'S FUND - EVERY LITTLE HELPS!
For those wishing to just make a general donation to the tournament, we have created a special Player's Fund.  For every donation made to this fund, the money will be shared by the player's participating who pay an entry fee, up to the maximum of their entry fee.  For example, if the fund ends up with $1,000 and 40 players pay an entry fee then at the tournament each player will receive a payment of $25 to help offset some of the costs of their participation.  This may seem like a small amount but trust me, this fund has the opportunity to help every player defray some of their costs in participating.  All donors will be listed here on the website.  Just change the quantity to update the amount you wish to donate.
