Invest in Your Future — Choose the Path That Fits You
At the Foster City Chamber of Commerce, we believe every connection matters — whether you're a growing business, a community-minded entrepreneur, or a public servant. That’s why we offer four distinct investor paths, each designed to meet you where you are and help you grow, engage, and make an impact. From affordable visibility for solopreneurs to full-scale strategic partnerships, and from civic engagement to major sponsorship recognition, your investment in the Chamber is an investment in your future — and the future of Foster City.
Visionary Investor Partners (VIPs)
Visionary Investor Partners (VIPs) are businesses and organizations that go above and beyond — investing at least $5,000 annually through sponsorships, advertising, and direct support. In recognition of this commitment, VIPs receive top-tier exposure, priority placement, and strategic recognition in everything we do.
This group represents the visionaries shaping Foster City's business future.
