As an active member and supporter of both ACCE and IEDC, Integrity Fundraising is committed to the success of chambers of commerce and economic development councils across the country. Founder and President Rick Kiernan has focused a significant amount of his career on this market and has personally managed and/or supervised feasibility studies and capital campaigns for organizations like the Lewiston Area Chamber of Commerce, the Council for Entrepreneurial Development, the Dyersburg / Dyer County Chamber of Commerce , Greater Columbus GA Chamber of Commerce, the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce, and the Virginia Piedmont Technology Council.

Because of the many roles they play, chambers of commerce and economic development councils require funding for a variety of initiatives:

New business marketing and recruitment Existing business retention and expansion Downtown revitalization Workforce development Community development

International trade Tourism development New facilities Small business resource centers

Whether focused on some or all of these initiatives, chambers of commerce and economic development councils are critical to building healthy and competitive communities. Businesses benefit when that happens, so Integrity Fundraising approaches every campaign from that point of view.

We quantify your multi-year initiative to illustrate the positive economic impact it creates to utility companies, law and accounting firms, banks and credit unions, manufacturers and other businesses of all types and sizes. Utilizing this outcomes-based approach ensures maximum financial support because corporate stakeholders view your programs as not only critical to their community but also to their bottom lines. They perceive their financial support not as a donation, but rather as an investment; an investment with a very measurable return.
