The Greater Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce is proud to offer members the chance to work with the Chamber in an Affinity Program.  An affinity program is a service designed to help B-CC Chamber members save money on purchasing vital products and services and provide benefit through bottom line savings in the operation of their business. Affinity Partnerships also provide the Chamber a source of non-dues revenue, as a small percentage of revenues derived from this program go to the Chamber.

The two primary affinity programs offered to members of associations and non-profits include:

1. Services at discount rates (e.g. phone services, travel, insurance, credit card processing, etc.); and
2. Purchasing programs, where numerous members together purchase a product or products at a discounted rate that is much greater than if one were to purchase that product alone (e.g. utilities, office supplies, etc.)

The Greater Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce will consider proposals for new Affinity Partners based on the following criteria:

1. Product value
2. Benefits to the members of The Greater Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce
3. Benefits to The Greater Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce
4. A business plan (must include direct marketing and advertising budget, available administrative support, and revenue projections)
5. Proven experience with affinity programs
6. Exhibits solid financial and management foundation

If you are interested in working with the Chamber with an Affinity Program, please e-mail us at staff@bccchamber.org or call us at (301) 652-4900.
