From our partners
“It’s been said that good people with good intentions make good policy possible and much of what Transform Fresno will accomplish through our Transformative Climate Communities grant would not have been possible without the support of the good people at the Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce.”
“The chamber is an integral part of the regional small business ecosystem and a valued partner in facilitating capital to Black businesses.”
“From hands-on training, access to capital and back office support for small businesses to broadly lifting up Fresno’s Black and African American community, the Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce shows us all what it looks like to lead and champion the cause of improving our city.”
“The Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce is an invaluable resource we turn to when we are planning our business advocacy strategy. The chamber has its finger on the pulse of the community and its needs, and we take what we learn from their example to better serve our members.”
“The Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce is a strong force for the Fresno community and we’re committed to working with them to catalyze inclusive growth through collaboration with local organizations, such as our $5 million investment to help improve economic activity in the most disinvested areas. We’re proud to continue working with the chamber and find more opportunities to engage with and support local Black entrepreneurs in Fresno.”
“The Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce always puts the success of its members foremost in all their decisions because they know their members’ success translates into the success of the entire community.”
