Mom and Pop Alliance was created for you

We believe small business owners ARE ESSENTIAL.
It is time we come together and have a voice.

The Mom and Pop Alliance is a pro-small-business advocacy group founded during Covid to help empower SC's small businesses.

In 2024 we expanded into two organizations:

The MOM AND POP ALLIANCE is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We provide education, serve as a liaison to improve communication between SC lawmakers and small business owners, and seek common sense solutions and good governance policies to empower SC's family-owned businesses. All donations to the MOM AND POP ALLIANCE are tax deductible.

MOM AND POP ADVOCACY interfaces directly with SC lawmakers advocating on behalf of SC's small and family-owned businesses.

In 2020 when small businesses were labeled "non-essential" we decided to VOLUNTEER our time to provide a stronger voice for SC's family-owned businesses. We believe small businesses are the backbone of the SC economy but are often under-represented in the development of governmental policy. The Mom and Pop Alliance and Mom and Pop Advocacy exist to change that.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

By becoming a member of a larger group, your voice has greater impact in improving the climate for all Mom-and-Pop businesses in SC. Big business and international corporations have an inordinate amount of influence in SC. Through the Alliance, SC's 430,000 small businesses can have a stronger voice by linking arms and supporting each other on various issues at the state level of government.

BE INFORMED

As a self-employed entrepreneur, you are no doubt busy focusing on your customers, your product, and running your business. You probably don’t have time to keep up with governmental issues pertinent to small business. By becoming a Mom and Pop Alliance member you will be alerted with up-to-date information relevant to small businesses through our exclusive membership newsletters.

EMPOWERMENT

Through our in-person events and social media posts, our Alliance aims to bring a sense of community to SC's small business community. Our articles inform the public of issues that can impact small businesses. Additionally, through Mom and Pop Advocacy, we bring our signature white chocolate popcorn to all 170 legislators, while informing them of challenges our small businesses are facing.
