What this Means
• This is a special, one-time opportunity that doubles the power of your investment in Staten Island’s future.
Every dollar raised through new memberships, sponsorships, or donations at SIEDC will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $75,000.
That means your contribution will have twice the impact—fueling local projects, programs, and partnerships that strengthen our economy from the ground up.
How Your Contributions Will Be Used
A portion of new funds will directly support SIEDC’s “Build A Bridge Fund,” which advances two key initiatives:
Small Business Development & Emergency Recovery Initiatives - providing relief to help local businesses recover from unexpected challenges, such as natural disasters, economic disruptions, or urgent operational needs.
Continuing Business & Entrepreneurship Education - offering support for local aspiring and current business owners, ensuring they have access to education and training to grow their ventures and reach their full potential.
The Fund is closely aligned with the insight and expertise of SIEDC’s Planning Advisory Council, a distinguished group of developers, real estate experts, industrial leaders, and policymakers shaping sound economic strategies for Staten Island.
