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 327 applications for financial assistance; and has issued 60 grants totaling $202,000 to serve 43 nonprofit organizations 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 theYoung Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA) annually, raising $60,000 for this outstanding program.
