Urban Business Connection

Program Overview
The Columbus Chamber is the largest Chamber in the Columbus Region, and membership comes with the greatest opportunity for access among member businesses in our community. Our workforce development, government advocacy efforts, and business solutions ensure businesses in the Columbus Region grow and thrive. In an effort to reach a broader net of the Columbus business community, the Columbus Chamber and Columbus Urban League combined efforts to grant free Chamber memberships to thirty black-owned businesses for the 2021 fiscal year. With the support of the City of Columbus, the Columbus Chamber was able to renew and expand the program to 75 businesses in 2022. These businesses have access to a suite of services (including business connections, specialized consultations, research capabilities for targeted expansion, government advocacy, and member pricing at Chamber events), as well as expanded services in marketing and visibility in the Columbus community. With renewed support we’ve been able to continue expansion in 2023, growing the program to include 100 businesses. We hope to continue the program and increase impact.
