The Miami-Dade Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (MDGLCC) is the largest not-for-profit corporation in the county for gay and lesbian businesses. With membership on the rise, the Chamber's mission is to promote a unified and thriving, gay and gay-friendly, business and professional community throughout Miami-Dade County. Our goals are to promote networking within the existing gay and gay-friendly business and professional community, to promote business opportunities for Chamber members, to promote Miami-Dade and South Beach as a year-round, gay and gay-friendly tourist destination, to provide resources for our members, and to provide outreach from our community to other organizations. The Miami-Dade Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce is a trustee member of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. The MDGLCC is funded through its annual membership drive, business sponsorships, and personal donations. A significant portion of the MDGLCC Website was funded by a grant from the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority. Our directory database was developed from an alliance with the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.
