May 19, 2026
A new partnership will give MACC members streamlined access to state grant programs, certification support, and export readiness resources.
The Maryland African Chamber of Commerce has signed a partnership memo with the Maryland Department of Commerce to streamline member access to state programs.
Under the agreement, MACC members will have dedicated liaison support for the state's MBE certification process, priority review for grant applications under the Small Business Growth Fund, and access to the department's export-readiness workshops at no additional cost.
The partnership goes into effect immediately. Members can request a referral by emailing the chamber office.
