PAY IT FORWARD FUND

PAY IT FORWARD!

Support Diverse-Owned Businesses

Make a donation to the Pay It Forward Fund to underwrite an annual membership for businesses in the community.  The Pay It Forward Fund places a priority on minority, trans and women-owned businesses. These are diverse-owned businesses who do not have the financial means to join the Chamber but can greatly benefit from programming, including learning opportunities to grow their business, and networking, to support their businesses. 

Over the years, through the Fund, the Chamber has been able to support many diverse owned businesses including helping get businesses LGBTBE® Certified. These diverse-owned businesses have been able to connect with the Chamber and received valuable training and networking to help their businesses grow and thrive.

At the Chamber, we believe that this is what community is all about!
