What's NEWS with the Chamber
Congratulations to our ContractHER 2020 Graduates! 10/2/20
On Friday, we announced our Small Business Rent Relief Awardees! Each selected business was granted $2,000 in rent relief funding to help revitalize their business! We would like to give a special thanks to everyone that applied and to those that didn't receive the grant, that we will continue to work to find ways to help & support your businesses. A very special thanks to the West Harlem Development Corporation, because without them, this entire grant program wouldn't be possible. Thank You So Much!
Special Thanks to ACCION for a Wonderful Webinar! 10/7/20
The New York Women's Chamber of Commerce would like to give a special thanks the financial experts from ACCION, that gave this great webinar to our members and those that attended the first time. We have partnered with ACCION in the past for other workshops we've done, but this one in particular was critical for the times we're are living in right now. Business owners & entrepreneurs alike were given the tools to find and secure the best funding for their businesses. We hope that you use these tools to best access the funds you deserve!

With it, we are able to retain our staff to build and market our Covid Response package to support the entertainment industry's return safely and sustainably. Donating to FundHer is an incredible way to support community-focused, small, women-owned businesses such as myself to not only survive the pandemic but help support a thriving recovery." - Emillie O'Brien, Founder & CEO of Earth Angel
