West Ohio Christian Chamber of Commerce

SSGB Fund

Scholarship, Sponsorship, Grant & Benevolence

The SSGB Missions Fund exists to assist students, businesses, and ministries in need across our seven counties.

Four ways the SSGB Fund serves

Scholarships for students

$250 - $1,000

For students from our seven counties pursuing business, entrepreneurship, or chaplaincy degrees focused on marketplace ministry. Applicants must be affiliated with a WOCC member.

Membership sponsorships

Up to 3 months

Membership sponsorship for businesses and ministries with limited funds, so cost never keeps anyone out of the chamber.

Grants for startups & expansions

$500 - $1,000

Grants for Christian businesses and ministries starting up or expanding in the seven-county region.

Benevolence for members

$100 - $1,000

Assistance for WOCC members facing unexpected financial hardship.

The fund is overseen by a board of at least five: the administrative assistant, the executive director, one executive board member, one county board member, and at least one WOCC member. Every request is reviewed personally.

Give, or ask for help

Every gift stays in West Ohio and goes straight to students, businesses, and ministries in our seven counties.
