Citing a strong financial position, the board of directors of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce voted to create an enduring legacy in the community.
 
The Batavia Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the creation of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce Community Enhancement and Endowment Funds.

According to Margaret Perreault, president and CEO of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce, the funds are intended to “enhance the economic viability of Batavia, Illinois, by supporting charitable nonprofit organizations and activities that enrich the quality of life for residents and businesses of Batavia.

The Chamber’s board of directors is delighted to establish the funds through the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley and intends that the monies be used to help nonprofit and business initiatives in this area. The Chamber has pledged $75,000 and in turn, received matching grants of an additional $25,000 from the CFFRV, totaling $100,000 to be dedicated for vetted projects and programs. Read the entire press release.
