Today is:

Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce Foundation


The Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce Foundation was formed in September of 2002 to enhance the charitable activities of the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce through the the provision of funding for educational scholarships and workforce development programs.

Through the generosity of the people who participate in Foundation scholarship fundraising events and the dedication of the Foundation’s board members and scholarship committee members, area students are benefiting from our Athena Award Program and the memories of these five outstanding individuals.
