About

The Louisiana Chamber of Commerce Foundation prides itself on supporting chambers across Louisiana that impact all 64 parishes. Founded in 2018, our organization is a non-profit 501(c)3 committed to fostering economic growth in our state by empowering and sustaining the local business community. Our primary goal is to facilitate the development of local chambers, enabling them to serve as powerful vehicles for economic empowerment. Through strategic partnerships with both public and private sectors, we provide women, minority, rural, and veteran-owned businesses with valuable access to procurement opportunities, a robust network of regional chambers of commerce, vital technical assistance to enhance their capabilities, and dedicated advocacy for their growth and development. We encourage partnership engagement that includes mentor protégé programs, direct presentation, and participation in technical assistance training programs. What We Do:
  • The Chamber of Commerce Growth Initiatives (CCGI) program provides technical assistance for the creation and development of regional business chambers of commerce and support for the creation and expansion of locally-owned businesses across the state.
  • Chamber Affiliate supports ten local and regional affiliate chambers of commerce across the state include ongoing assessment, training, information, networking, coordinate advocacy, and technical assistance.
  • Business Innovation Program (BIP) to promote the involvement of local and diverse-owned businesses in domestic and international trade by ensuring businesses have the skills, capacity, relationships, and knowledge to increase financing, contract opportunities, and access to new domestic and global markets.
  • Establish a vibrant aquaculture/agriculture ecosystem that is inclusive of workforce development. LCCF is establishing farming-based cooperatives in rural regions across Louisiana to ensure farmers and fishermen can secure the funding and supportive services they need to be fully and equitably represented within Louisiana’s agricultural system.
