Your Commitment to Equity. Our Network. Real Outcomes.
The Minnesota Black Chamber of Commerce is the most effective gateway to Minnesota's Black business community for corporations committed to supplier diversity, economic equity, and authentic community engagement.
Our corporate partners don't just write checks. They build relationships — with Black entrepreneurs who are ready to join their supply chains, lead their community engagement, and grow into long-term strategic partners. We provide the connection, the credibility, and the community. You bring the commitment and the contracts.
What Partnership Looks Like
Supplier Diversity
The Chamber's Business Directory and procurement network connect your supply chain team with verified, certified Black-owned businesses across Minnesota — from construction and professional services to technology, healthcare, and food and beverage. We do the curation. You do the contracting.
Program Sponsorship
Sponsor the 10,000 Black Business Program or another Chamber initiative. Your investment funds business development programming for Black entrepreneurs — and your company gains visibility, recognition, and authentic relationship-building opportunities with Minnesota's Black business community.
Event Partnership
Chamber events bring together Black entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, policymakers, and community advocates. As an event partner, your company gains brand presence, speaking opportunities, and direct connections with a community that values authentic engagement over performative gestures.
Research and Thought Leadership
Partner with the Chamber on research, co-branded content, and thought leadership that demonstrates your company's expertise and commitment to economic equity in Minnesota.
