Minority Business Sponsorships & Scholarships
SPONSOR A MINORITY BUSINESS
As a resource to minority business owners, the STCOC DEI Council plans to initiate a sponsored membership drive where chamber members have the opportunity to SPONSOR A MINORITY BUSINESS. The suggested pledge per business is $450.00 and will support a minority business for one full year of membership. The goal of the sponsorship is to help that business afford membership their first year and believe in their investment the following years. There will be an application process for minority businesses to apply to the program with proper vetting of the business from the STCOC DEI Council. Once the pledge is complete and the funds are secured, your business will receive the names and details of each sponsored business and the STCOC DEI Council will facilitate the award for all sponsors and sponsored businesses.
