Revitalizing America’s Local Economies
America’s Commerce Corps (ACC) is dedicated to transforming and strengthening local economies nationwide. We unite towns, small businesses, nonprofits, banks, and community organizations, providing access to powerful tools, data-driven insights, and strategic partnerships that help communities stand out and succeed. Our mission is to level the playing field so local commerce can thrive in an increasingly competitive digital world.
By empowering communities to work together and invest in one another, we’re building more than just platforms, we’re creating a nationwide movement to restore hometown prosperity. When local businesses grow, families flourish, schools improve, and opportunities multiply. ACC exists to make that vision a reality for every town across America.
Local America Needs Help
Across the United States, millions of local businesses, thousands of community banks, and countless towns and colleges face common struggles: limited visibility, scarce resources, and difficulty competing with large national players. America’s Commerce Corps exists to change that. Through data, tools, and strategic partnerships, we’re helping these local pillars overcome obstacles and reclaim their role as the backbone of American prosperity.
CEM has been helping its community since its founding over 30 years ago. America’s Commerce Corps is its newest initiative aimed to help communities and local businesses across the country.
We collaborate with local businesses, nonprofits, towns, banks, colleges, and organizations that share our mission to strengthen local economies. Together, we create tools, insights, and connections that help communities grow and thrive.
Our sponsors fuel the movement to strengthen local economies. Even if they can’t appear on our local platforms, their support drives the tools and initiatives that help communities and businesses thrive nationwide.
