At the Capital District Business Alliance (CDBA), we believe strong communities start with businesses that care.
Our Community Initiatives unite local businesses, nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and residents to drive meaningful change throughout the Capital Region. We are committed not only to business growth but to the well-being of our entire community.
Through collaborative, action-driven programs, we address urgent needs like affordable housing, hunger, violence prevention, youth empowerment, financial literacy, mental health, and neighborhood revitalization. These initiatives are more than just projects—they are pathways to safer, healthier, and more connected lives for all.
Together, we raise awareness, amplify local causes, and mobilize resources where they’re needed most. Because when we come together, we all rise.
Join us. Get involved. Be part of the solution.
The CDBA Community Fund empowers local entrepreneurs, youth programs, housing efforts, and grassroots initiatives with the resources they need to grow and thrive. Every donation provides microgrants, emergency aid, and seed funding that spark real, lasting change in our communities.
Community Cares Initiative
This initiative addresses pressing local issues, focusing on affordable housing, food insecurity, youth empowerment, and street violence prevention. This program is powered by the CDBA and brings together people and resources to create lasting, positive change in our communities.
Entrepreneurial Empowerment Program
We equip local businesses with workshops, training, networking opportunities, and hands-on support to promote sustainable growth and build wealth within the community. By strengthening small businesses, we help create jobs, support families, and keep our neighborhoods thriving.
Join us today and be part of a thriving community where businesses grow, people succeed, and together we build a better future. Get involved with the Capital District Business Alliance—because when we support each other, we all rise.
