The NM Green Chamber has teamed up with the Santa Fe Alliance. Together, we envision a just and sustainable global economy created by local economies that enhance community life, provide economic and social justice, and support locally owned businesses.

While the Santa Fe Alliance is an affiliate of the NM Green Chamber, you can also join the Santa Fe Green Chamber directly!

A special thank you to our Santa Fe Chapter sponsors: The Santa Fe Alliance and Los Alamos National Bank

What We Do

Nurture—We work to increase the share of goods and services supplied by stable, independent, locally-owned businesses. We provide training workshops, networking events, discount programs and other services to business owners, entrepreneurs and their staff.

Advocate—We influence public policy to support a locally-determined sustainable economy. We advocate at the local, state, and national levels, and partner with other organizations to better represent all parts of the Santa Fe community.

Promote—We convene meetings and educate the community to increase participation in the local economy. We build consumer groups and awareness campaigns in support of local businesses, sustainable agriculture and renewable energy.
