National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC)

The National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) in Washington, D.C. links LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs with corporate partners across the U.S.

This isn't a bar or a museum, but a business hub, a place for professional networking and development within the LGBTQ+ community. If you're in D.C. on a business trip, or just want to find LGBTQ+-owned businesses, it’s a good starting point.

Members can find hundreds of certified LGBTBEs (LGBTQ+ Business Enterprises) and connect with corporate allies and international suppliers. The NGLCC maintains MyNGLCC, a database designed to help members build professional relationships and find business opportunities.

Think of it as a resource for LGBTQ+ professionals, entrepreneurs, and travelers who want to support the community's economic growth. It’s in D.C., so it’s easy to get to if you’re in town for work or just visiting. For details on membership and how to access their business database, check their website.
