Mission

Created in the late 1940s as a Development Association, the Mt. Adams Chamber of Commerce is organized to promote business involvement to enhance a vibrant community. Our goal is to see our local communities thrive by creating positive connections that spark synergy and momentum.

Vision

Established in 2016 and operated by the Mt. Adams Chamber of Commerce, the Northshore Community Foundation was created to foster awareness and innovation in Art, Agriculture, Education, Health, and a Sustainable Economy among our Columbia Gorge Northshore community residents — by providing grants, scholarships, educational programs, and events.
