What can the Rushford Area Chamber of Commerce do for my business?

The Rushford Area Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to establishing and maintaining itself as the primary advocate, voice, and resource for business organizations in our area.

 These are some things we are currently involved in:

  • Rushford Bucks can be purchased and spent only in the Rushford business communities. This is a great gift or reward tool that anyone can use to keep money circulating in the Rushford area.
  • The Chamber sponsors an annual $300 scholarship that is awarded to a qualifed graduating R-P High School senior.
  • Tourism is promoted through the Chamber and Historic Bluff Country, administrator of the National Scenic Byways Program in SE Minnesota.
  • The Chamber Website serves our members and the area community, with email access to the Chamber staff.  Members are listed alphabetically and categorically with their business website link, a very important marketing tool available to our members and included in the affordable annual dues.
  • Monthly newsletters keep you informed of community festivities and events, new businesses and expansions, recognition opportunities, special business promotions, and informative and educational resources.
  • We offer grant administratration and funding assistance for business and community improvement projects, including the Blandin Broadband Initiative that provides funding for local business website development.
  • To promote your business for tourism, we provide trailhead advertising discounts and other promotional opportunities through tourism publications and the media.

These are some of the ways our Chamber works to enhance business and recreational opportunities in Rushford, Rushford Village, Peterson and Houston.   Membership dues constitute our greatest source of income, so please--join or renew today!
