Welcome to the Ontario County Chamber Foundation

At the Ontario County Chamber Foundation, everything we do is rooted in community — the people, the places, and the potential that make our region so special.

Our visual mark is more than just a logo. It’s a symbol of who we are together and where we’re headed. The lake reflects the strength of our local roots, while the rising sun speaks to the promise of what we can achieve when we move forward as one.

In partnership with the Ontario County Chamber of Commerce and our many community collaborators, we’re committed to creating a more vibrant, inclusive Finger Lakes region — one where every person, business, and idea has the chance to grow and thrive.

Together, we’re building a future full of opportunity, shaped by the values and vision we share.
