The Metro Chamber Foundation aims to increase regional investment in young people because we believe strongly that building a talent pipeline, improving workforce diversity and bringing new ideas and skills into the workplace are all critical components of building a healthy and thriving community.
We are committed to fostering economic and community development through the promotion of young professionals, emerging leaders, and philanthropy. Two of our strategic programs include Metro EDGE and Leadership Sacramento – each designed to bridge education and workforce gaps for emerging leaders and young professionals. The Metro Chamber Foundation also administers an annual grant-making program, Inspire Giving. Inspire Giving is a collective giving model, held as an endowment at the Sacramento Region Community Foundation with a robust annual grant-making effort. Together, these three programs help young professionals connect, embrace employees who lead and encourage professionals and businesses to give back and serve the communities they call home.
