Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida

What Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida does

The Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association founded in 1998 and headquartered in Kissimmee, Florida. It serves as the institutional convener for the Puerto Rican and broader Hispanic business community across three Central Florida counties — Orange, Osceola, and Seminole — with a membership base of approximately 500 businesses and individuals. Its core products are networking, advocacy, and community-programming services rather than technology products; notable offerings include a recurring signature events calendar (Business Expo, Annual Gala, Hispanic Heritage programming), a member-only Leads Group for structured business referrals, and a scholarship pipeline administered in partnership with the Osceola County School District.

Revenue is generated through a diversified non-profit model combining individual and business membership dues, multi-tier Trustee sponsorships (with named institutional partners including Orlando Health, the City of Orlando, the City of Kissimmee, OceanBank, Westgate Resorts, Bravo Supermarkets, and the Osceola County School District), event registrations, and scholarship fundraising. The organization operates without disclosed technology platforms, proprietary software, or data products; its value proposition is fundamentally relational and event-driven rather than technology-mediated. Distribution occurs through in-person events, a member directory, and direct outreach to prospective members within the Central Florida Puerto Rican business community.
