Giving Tuesday: Strengthen small businesses and their communities

At the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation, we are driven by a commitment to empower small and diverse businesses to thrive. Through our innovative programs and initiatives, we provide the tailored support, expert guidance, and essential resources that businesses need to overcome challenges, scale growth, and achieve success.

Our mission is to create an inclusive economy where local businesses can access transformative opportunities, such as contracting and procurement tied to major events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games. By fostering strong connections between businesses and key buyers, we open doors to new markets, sustainable growth, and lasting success.

With programs like the Resilient Business Advising Program, SCALE Program, and Economic Mobility Initiative, we deliver solutions designed to strengthen operations, support global expansion, and empower businesses to reach their full potential. Each initiative is rooted in our belief that small businesses are the backbone of a thriving community.

Together, with the support of our donors, partners, and dedicated team, we are building a stronger, more resilient Los Angeles. Join us in driving impact and fostering inclusivity to build a thriving region for all.
