Each year over 480 local non-profit agencies in our community raise tremendous amounts of funding to provide services for people in need. For example, Midlands Gives has raised over $12.6 million alone. To put those dollars to work, non-profits hire local citizens as their employees and also contract local small businesses to accomplish their projects. Join us to learn more about the economic spinoff of goodwill in our community.

The Small Business Council, presented by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, hosts these meetings to provide a forum for education, networking, and motivation.

The Columbia Chamber’s Northeast Connection brings small businesses in the Northeast region together in one location. The NE Connection serves as an advocate for small businesses in our community and provides a forum for education, networking, and motivation. The Chamber is focused on creating and promoting an environment where businesses can flourish. The link between the Northeast region and downtown Partners will strengthen relationships, promote growth, and enhance community awareness for small businesses.
