Non-Profit Networking –
Branching Hope

About the LACC Branching Hope Non-Profit Network:

The Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to partner with nearly 50 nonprofit and community organizations. Together, we collaborate to share best practices, strengthen community services, and elevate philanthropy throughout the Lakes Area.

Our Nonprofit Network meets approximately four times a year, providing opportunities for connection, resource sharing, and meaningful collaboration. Each year, the Chamber also selects one nonprofit organization to support through proceeds raised during the auction at our annual Mingle Jingle Mixer.

Through these efforts, we aim to build a stronger, more compassionate community where businesses and nonprofits work hand in hand to make a difference.
