1. Promoting Nonprofit Organizations to the Business Community and Connecting Nonprofits and For-Profit Businesses.
The goal of the Nonprofit & Business Partnership Group is to fully and intentionally utilize varied communication methods and event resources within the Chamber to provide exposure to the nonprofit Chamber members. This group will also strive to connect Chamber nonprofit members with Chamber for-profit businesses on many levels, including but not limited to, achieving a partnership by which each business receives benefits, shared educational resources among nonprofit and for-profit businesses, best practices shared among all Chamber members, planning events to bolster the knowledge of all members both nonprofit and for-profit, etc.  The group strives to create programming and opportunities which facilitate short and long-term partnerships between Chamber members who are both nonprofit and for-profit businesses.
​
​2. The Nonprofit Fair - Meet the Nonprofits
The Nonprofit Fair occurs in February in conjunction with the February Business After Hours.  It is meant to provide an avenue by which the Chamber nonprofits may connect with the business community in a relaxed and fun setting.  Attendees are asked to visit as many nonprofits as possible at the event.  Each nonprofit is listed in a passport book which provides a brief description of the nonprofits in attendance, website information for the nonprofit, contact information for the nonprofit, upcoming opportunities and finally it lists which of the 5 key needs that the nonprofit may have at this time.  The 5 key needs are: Event Participation, Sponsorships, Volunteers, Join the Board and Donations.  Attendees are able to truly connect with the nonprofits by learning about them and finding out how you may help them meet their needs.    
3. The TANK
A “Shark Tank” inspired event for nonprofits to vie for funding for a unique program.
Nonprofits will pitch their organization and program to a panel of ‘Sharks’ for a guaranteed
minimum cash prize of $250 with the opportunity to win thousands.  ​
