Wisconsin LGBT Chamber receives $10,000 Chamber Development Grant
The grant was awarded by the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce and Wells Fargo
The Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce has been awarded with a $10,000 chamber development grant. The National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, the business voice of the LGBT community, recognized excellence in local chambers on Aug. 16 at the 2018 NGLCC International Business & Leadership Conference in Philadelphia. The Wisconsin LGBT Chamber was honored to be a recipient.
“As we celebrate our largest and most expansive NGLCC Conference yet, we are thrilled to celebrate the continued outstanding work accomplished by our growing network of local affiliate chambers,” said Justin Nelson, NGLCC Co-Founder and President. “Without the leadership and passion of these chambers, NGLCC would not be able to effectively promote the LGBT Business community. We are proud to acknowledge these thriving organizations with these awards at our Conference, and promote their achievements throughout the year.”
NGLCC Local Affiliate Chambers applied for available grants ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. The grants are funded by the Wells Fargo Foundation and administered by NGLCC and are targeted towards programs that foster the development, growth and sustainability of certified LGBT Business Enterprises.
Applications were judged based on overall chamber strength, growth in members and community presence, engagement with NGLCC and the LGBT Supplier Diversity Initiative, the strength of the program, and outlined goals and metrics.
“NGLCC local affiliate chambers are the backbone of the LGBT business equality movement,” said Chance Mitchell, NGLCC Co-Founder and CEO. “The chambers that we recognized at Conference go above and beyond to guide and develop their local LGBT business communities.”
