A Greater Newberry Community Foundation
Investing in Our Future
About:
The resounding words within the mission of the Newberry County Chamber of Commerce is to be an organization that promotes, enhances, supports, and meets the needs of its community as a whole. We came to realize that in order to better do all of those things, we needed a 501c3 arm to be able to pursue grants, private donations, and other funding not readily available to a 501c6 organization.
Our Mission:
Advancing community engagement by supporting initiatives that strengthen education and workforce development, promote innovation, cultivate leadership, expand mentorship, and guide sustainable community growth in support of long-term economic, cultural, and social well-being.
What We Do
Building Community
We provide opportunities for residents to be informed about their communities and how to make a difference.
Education & Workforce Development
Newberry County is home to businesses of many sectors. We collaborate with the local schools and businesses and partner with entities focusing on similar goals to provide opportunities for success.
Leadership
Our programs give participants the information to better understand their communities, help elevate their leadership skills, and further engage in the community, while expanding their personal and professional networks.
Mentorship
We help strengthen the business, social, and cultural community through mentorships in the schools, workplace, and the community.
