After the Chamber Nation program is implemented in your community, the potential to convert the system into a powerful grant justification program is ready to go.
Since much of the available grant money is targeted towards, economic development, work experience programs and going green communities, this system will make it easier to apply for and justify the need for a grant in your community.

Grant Type Support Descriptions:
Technology Center
The Chamber Technology Center automation creates a massive local advertising network by inter-connecting businesses and organizations. Members and other local business owners are able to leverage the strength of the Chamber of Commerce and their computer lab to manage their online assets.
The technology center will also be used for community commerce education and students who will be retained by local business owners to keep their businesses up-to-date utilizing technology.
Economic Development
Since so much is moving to online resourcing versus window shopping in the traditional sense, it's CRITICAL that all community businesses become online transaction hubs. Our program includes the online technology to power robust Buy Local Program automation for every business in the community.
Real Work Experience Program
The younger generation grew up on technology. Business people don't have the time to manage their online communications platform. The Chamber Technology Center includes a full interface that connects students with business owners througout the community. This achieves a terrific working relationship between business owners and the students.We call this "Real Work Experience" and enables the young student to learn about business in the real world.
Going Green Communities
We've created an interactive module for business owners to use in order to document what they have done to reduce energy and increase recycling.
Once the business owner makes the electronic pledge, they become members of the Green Business Chamber, which they may leverage to help promote their business or organization.
This program may be customized to meet the objectives of the going green community grant.
