The Asheville Chamber of Commerce has been an incredible force in this community for 125 years and for much of their history they have supported the work of so many other nonprofits, including United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County. 

So it makes sense that they’d find a way to share the love as they celebrate this milestone. They will award 12, $10,000 grants to local nonprofit organizations at their Celebration event on Sept 28.
