Manatee Chamber Foundation

The Manatee Chamber Foundation was established to expand and advance our community's understanding of a broad range of issues. Current programs include Project TEACH, Big Bank Theory, and Leadership Manatee. Two major studies have been conducted through the Chamber Foundation – an Economic Impact of the Arts study and a State of Healthcare study, both of which informed new initiatives in Manatee County. We also engage the Foundation in the Chamber’s role as the backbone organizer for REACH Manatee, Manatee County’s local college access network.
