Small Biz Cares is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created with the mission to connect, mobilize, and inspire small businesses to create lasting positive impact in our community. Small Biz Cares was founded by local small business leaders committed to creating a unique organization that is philanthropic and driven by small businesses.
It is our belief that small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy and the community. Through Small Biz Cares, members have a unique opportunity to join like-minded businesses to raise money for great causes, participate in large-scale volunteer efforts and improve the educational opportunities for youth in our community.
By sharing stories of small businesses that are making an impact, we provide exposure to our members as well as inspiration to those looking for creative ideas.
Small Biz Cares members are community leaders, socially conscious and driven to make a difference.
