Our Vision

The Loudoun Chamber of Commerce has long been dedicated to creating a world-class economy and quality of life for everyone and every business in Loudoun County.

To make that vision a reality, the Loudoun Chamber Foundation was created to benefit organizations that are supporting Loudoun’s neediest citizens, while establishing a legacy to serve our community for generations to come.

The Loudoun Chamber Foundation is a highly regarded source of philanthropic support for Loudoun-based nonprofit organizations that are supporting our community’s most vulnerable citizens.

Since 2015, the Loudoun Chamber Foundation has received more than 370 applications for financial assistance; and has issued 72 grants totaling $252,000 to nonprofits servicing Loudoun County’s residents and workers, while building a permanent endowment of $142,000 that will continue to grow and benefit Loudoun County for many generations to come.

In addition, the Loudoun Chamber Foundation supports the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA) annually, raising $60,000 for this outstanding program.

Our goal is to double the level of grant funding and the permanent endowment over the next four years. Your generous support will help that goal become a reality and help improve the lives of thousands of your fellow Loudoun residents, workers, and families.
