Scarsdale Business Alliance

What Scarsdale Business Alliance does

The Scarsdale Business Alliance (SBA) is a non-profit 501(c)(6) membership organization headquartered at 6 Spencer Place in Scarsdale Village, NY. Founded in 2018, it serves as the officially sponsored business association of the Village of Scarsdale, representing local small and medium-sized businesses in retail, dining, wellness, and services. Its mission is to elevate and energize the local business community through connection, collaboration, and advocacy, while raising awareness of Scarsdale's amenities, stimulating foot traffic in its retail hubs, and fostering community engagement.

The SBA's core offerings include tiered business membership, an online Member Portal powered by the JoinIt SaaS platform, the Dale Dollars eGift Card program operated through Yiftee, the Business Beat newsletter, and recurring community events. Its flagship programming is Destination Scarsdale, a weekly Sunday farmers market and community gathering operated in partnership with Down to Earth Markets, alongside seasonal events such as the Summer Meet & Greet (scheduled for July 15, 2026 at JCC Mid-Westchester), Sidewalk Sales, and the Holiday Mix & Mingle. The organization also runs the Scarsdale Youth Business Alliance (SYBA) youth engagement initiative.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring membership dues from local businesses, multi-tier corporate sponsorships (Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Presenting levels), and transaction fees from the Dale Dollars eGift Card program. The organization is independently governed by a Board of Directors, has between 1 and 10 employees, and distributes its message through Facebook, Instagram, its website, email, and in-person community events.
