THE MISSION OF THE SACRAMENTO METRO CHAMBER FOUNDATION is to support organizations and programs that strengthen the business climate by improving the overall quality of life in the Sacramento region.

The Foundation aligns its strategy with the Metro Chamber’s community development efforts by reaching out to organizations and programs that benefits small business, business and community leadership, and which advance education and workforce development in the Sacramento region.

The Metro Chamber Foundation contributes to those efforts through charitable giving, in-kind and other non-financial support, and aligns with opportunities that advance Metro Chamber programs and strategic objectives. 

HISTORY
The Sacramento Metro Chamber Foundation was introduced in January 2005 and was created to meet a long-standing desire by members to add a charitable giving component to Metro Chamber activities.

The Foundation aligns its strategy with the Metro Chamber’s annual business objectives. The Foundation’s activities includes support of Leadership Sacramento and business scholarship programs.

In addition to grants and giving to financially benefit causes in the community, the Foundation also provides in-kind and other non-financial support, using its affiliation to the Sacramento Metro Chamber to advocate on behalf of organizations and programs within our network of nearly 2,500 member businesses and professional associations.
