The People’s Community & Inclusion (PCI) Fund provides opportunities for marketing and connection for businesses owned by Black, Indigenous and people of color. PCI helps BIPOC-owned businesses, historically underrepresented in our membership, make connections, network and grow through Chamber membership.
Businesses who recieve the PCI scholarship will also have access to educational and networking programs for recipients to grow their network and business opportunities.
“Joining the Asheville Chamber via the PCI scholarship is one of the best decisions I ever made for my business. It helped to connect me not only with established businesses, but with new and aspiring minority entrepreneurs like myself needing only the right opportunities to shine, and the Asheville Chamber helped to provided those opportunities.” ~ Andre Daugherty, Owner, Pro 16 Productions
