About the Greater Blackfoot Area Chamber of Commerce

Founded in 1952, the Greater Blackfoot Area Chamber of Commerce exists to help your business grow, connect, and succeed. As a nonprofit, membership-based organization, we are dedicated to creating a strong business environment while enhancing the overall quality of life in the Blackfoot area.

When you join the Chamber, you gain access to valuable opportunities that increase your visibility, expand your network, and strengthen your presence in the community. From monthly luncheons to community-wide events, you’ll build meaningful relationships with fellow business owners, community leaders, and potential customers.

Your membership connects you to high-impact events like the Easter Egg Hunt, Celebrate Blackfoot, the Annual Chamber Golf Tournament, and the Business Awards Dinner—giving you direct exposure to the community while aligning your business with events people know and love.

You’ll also benefit from promotional opportunities designed to spotlight your business. Whether it’s ribbon cuttings, Business After Hours events, or affordable advertising through our highly visible marquees, you have tools to reach more customers and grow your brand.

By joining, you become part of a collaborative network that extends beyond Blackfoot, with connections reaching neighboring communities like Idaho Falls and Pocatello. You’re not just joining an organization—you’re gaining a partner invested in your success.

Together, we’re building a stronger business community and a better place to live, work, and do business.
