The Billerica Community Alliance was founded in 2008 as a result of the merger of two organizations: The Billerica Plan, a 501C3 non-profit and the Billerica Chamber of Commerce. Both organizations had been in existence for more than 20 years at the time of the merger. The committee overseeing the merger of these two organizations had an objective to retain the best of both organizations and eliminate duplicate functions, services and events as they existed. The Billerica Community Alliance was chosen as the name of the new organization as the committee desired that the new organization not retain one of the current names. Like the Billerica Plan, the Alliance is a 501-C3 non-profit organization.
The mission of the Billerica Community Alliance is to provide a working partnership for business and the Town of Billerica to impact the quality of life within the community, and to encourage and support business growth. The Organization intends to be a catalyst in developing community involvement among its members, sharing both ideas and skills to enhance the image of the Town of Billerica, Massachusetts. The organization is a charitable one, whose objective is to fund activities within the Town of Billerica that foster education and improve the community. To that end, the Organization will fund grants, furnish scholarships through other non-profit organizations and sponsor community events and activities which directly benefit the citizens of the Town of Billerica.
