About our Members

Over 70% of our funding comes from the financial support of our member businesses and the balance from local government partners. As a member-supported, non-profit organization, we are tremendously grateful for the active support of our members and partners, and we know that our work would not be possible without their support. If you have an opportunity to extend business to any of our member businesses, we encourage you to do so. If you would like to see your business added to our distinguished list of members and supporters, please check out the benefits of our different membership levels and call us today to discuss.

Membership Levels & Benefits

Members contribute to the Greater Columbus EDC because they believe in the work we do. They take pride in knowing that their support helps grow economic opportunities for our residents and businesses. They place value in having a professionally run, full-time, local economic development organization. For most, they view it as being the right thing to do, while also offering a return on investment. We offer multiple membership levels to fit businesses of all sizes, and we hope you’ll call us today to discuss the level that’s best for you!
