About the Foster City Chamber of Commerce:

The Foster City Chamber of Commerce is a vibrant business advocacy organization. As a nonprofit 501(c)6 membership-based organization, the Chamber has been a leading champion of entrepreneurialism and economic prosperity for more than 40 years. The Chamber delivers a robust roster of events, programs, and initiatives designed to enhance business opportunities and economic success. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we created the “The Chamber Cares Initiative” in which a simple question was asked of our businesses and community: “How can we help?” The purpose continues to be a way for the community to come together to discuss its needs and priorities, to provide direct assistance and/or leverage excess capacity; to lend support, bolster morale, and ensure that the community has a place to share their experiences, hardships, and opportunities extending the reach and impact of each through connections with all in Foster City and with partners in the region. Our tag line, “Your Chamber Cares” remains a testament to our commitment to the community.

The Chamber’s work is focused on three pillars of prosperity: advocacy; business development; and economic development. From weekly roundtable discussions to “Ask Our Expert” sessions with local professionals to one-on-one consulting, the Foster City Chamber uses its collective resources and connections to champion bold and innovative initiatives that make Foster City stand out. No other organization provides the level of leadership and action to advance sustainable economic growth and champion a better Foster City for all those who live, work, and play in our city and region.
