Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to strengthen the economic climate through business leadership that fosters member and community prosperity. Its 2025 filing says its activities help coordinate the common business interests of its members.
The chamber’s website describes work in business advocacy, networking, small-business support, and workforce development. Its grant-funding page presents local funding opportunities for businesses; the listed reimbursements and assistance are described as programs for employers or small businesses, not as grants made by the chamber.
Grantmaking
The 2023 filing reports $144,154 in grants across 16 grants. The available information does not identify individual grantees or grant amounts, so a typical grant size and notable recipients cannot be established. The 2024 and 2025 filings each report zero grants.
The chamber’s website provides information about local grant and business-support programs, but does not state that the chamber itself accepts grant applications.
