Help the SV SBDC continue its mission to advise, train, and inform small businesses to help them achieve success.

The Shenandoah Valley Small Business Development Center depends on financial contributions of individuals, businesses, and organizations within the community to provide needed support for our free-of-charge services to the small business community.

Federal funding from the Small Business Administration is conditional and requires that we match no less than 50 percent of their funding with cash contributions. James Madison University and Blue Ridge Community College provide substantial monetary support as well as facilities, furniture, equipment, and technology to host the two offices of the SV SBDC.

You can help us continue to offer free counseling services to businesses in our service region. To support the Shenandoah Valley Small Business Development Center, please contact Henry Reeves, Director at sbdc@jmu.edu or 540-568-3227. Contributions may be sent to: SV SBDC, JMU MSC 5502, Harrisonburg VA 22807.

Thank you for your support!

We are grateful to the following institutions for their financial and programmatic support:
