Join the Delaware Small Business Chamber’s 150 Envelope Fundraiser – Support Entrepreneurs and Win Big!
 

Are you ready to make a difference in the lives of small business owners across the First State? The Delaware Small Business Chamber (DSBC) invites you to participate in our exciting 150 Envelope Fundraiser, an innovative way to support local entrepreneurship while giving you the chance to win incredible prizes valued between $500 and $800 each!
 
This is not just another fundraiser; it’s a catalyst for change. The DSBC Foundation is dedicated to empowering small business owners throughout Delaware by providing grants ranging from $1,000 to $1,700. These funds are crucial for new stores opening in existing vacant storefronts and for young businesses looking to expand. By “purchasing” an envelope, you’re directly contributing to the growth and sustainability of our local economy.
 
Here's how it works: We have 150 envelopes that each represent a donation amount ranging from $1 to $150. When you select an envelope and donate that amount, you not only support small businesses but also enter yourself into our thrilling prize draw! You will earn 10% of your donation amount (rounded up or down to the nearest whole number) in chances to win some fantastic prizes! For example, if you choose an envelope for $106, you'll receive 11 chances to win.
 
If you select an envelope between $100 and $125, you'll add 5 additional chances.  Opt for an envelope valued between $126 and $150, and you'll snag an additional 10 chances!
 
Imagine being part of a community that fosters entrepreneurship and innovation, all while having the potential to take home a valuable prize! Whether you’re a supporter of local businesses or just love the thrill of winning, this fundraiser is a perfect opportunity to engage and connect with like-minded individuals while making a real impact.
 
Every cent raised from this event goes directly toward supporting small businesses that are the backbone of our community. By purchasing an envelope, you're investing in Delaware’s economy and helping aspiring entrepreneurs bring their dreams to life. Picture the joy of new shops opening in your neighborhood, bringing variety and vibrancy to our streets, all made possible by your generous contributions.
 
So, don’t wait!   This event will run throughout the 2025 year with a special event, to be announced later, to pick the winners.  Join us in this exciting initiative. You can select your envelope and contribute online or visit us at one of our upcoming engagement events.
 
Share this opportunity with friends and family — the more, the merrier! Encourage others to get involved, and let’s come together as a community to support those who serve us every day. Together, we can create a thriving environment for entrepreneurs in Delaware. Take action today, and who knows, you might just be the lucky winner of an amazing prize while helping foster the growth of our local businesses.
