about the foundation

The Space Coast Black Chamber of Commerce Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was reestablished in 2025 to serve as the educational arm of the Space Coast Black Chamber of Commerce. The Foundation is governed by a board composed of local business professionals who ensure the organization's overall well-being and strategic direction.

​

The primary mission of the Foundation is to promote wealth building through entrepreneurship and financial literacy. Our objectives include:

​

• Startup Education: Providing guidance and resources for new entrepreneurs to navigate the challenges of starting their own businesses.

• Business Basics Sessions: Offering workshops on fundamental business skills and practices.

• Capacity Building: Enhancing business acumen by equipping entrepreneurs with knowledge about new industries, emerging business trends, and fresh opportunities.

• Access to Financing: Increasing access to financial resources and information to help close the financing gap that many black entrepreneurs face.

The ultimate goal of the Foundation is to increase the number of strong, stable black-owned businesses. By achieving this, we aim to:

​

• Create More Jobs: Encourage job creation within the community.

• Build Wealth: Facilitate wealth accumulation and economic empowerment.

• Reduce Poverty: Contribute to poverty reduction through economic development.

These efforts not only benefit the local community but also bolster our regional, state, and national economies, creating a more robust economic landscape.

The Space Coast Black Chamber of Commerce Foundation is committed to fostering economically healthy communities. We achieve this through comprehensive entrepreneurship and financial literacy education, complemented by technical assistance. Our dedication to these principles ensures that we remain a pivotal resource for aspiring business leaders and the broader community.
