What Mashpee Chamber of Commerce does

The Mashpee Chamber of Commerce is a private, nonprofit membership-based business organization founded in 1985 and headquartered at 13 Steeple St., Suite 101, Mashpee, Massachusetts. It serves local small and medium businesses in Mashpee and the broader Cape Cod region, offering a tiered subscription membership model (Tier 1 ~$299/year, Tier 2 ~$499/year, Tier 3 ~$799/year), plus two specialized tiers — Entrepreneur ($99 + $25 one-time fee, for startups under $100K revenue) and Mashpee Market ($95 for a 4-month term, for farmers market vendors). Member benefits include networking events, referrals, educational seminars, promotional placements in Mashpee Magazine and partner media, CapeSpace co-working discounts, insurance fee waivers via Great Harbor Benefits and Murray & MacDonald, and access to MSBDC/SCORE business counseling.

The chamber operates on the GrowthZone membership-management platform, which powers its website, online member directory, job board, events calendar, and member application workflow. Distribution is multi-channel — website, Constant Contact email, five social platforms (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube), print Mashpee Magazine, and recurring annual events including the Golf Tournament, La Tavola, Season of Illumination Parade, Restaurant Week, Holiday Meal Delivery, and 12 Days of Christmas Online Auction. The organization is part of the Local Cape Chambers Collaborative (LC3), a 15-chamber federation formed in 2007.

Revenue is derived primarily from membership dues and event sponsorships; no revenue figure is publicly disclosed. The chamber has a small staff led by Executive Director Stephanie Viva (appointed November 2024), is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and is currently expanding into economic-development programming, including a shared community kitchen initiative at Triple M (29 Echo Road) that combines a visitor center with commercial kitchen facilities for small businesses and farmers market vendors.
