The support provided by the Rogers Park Business Alliance has been incredible during the pandemic and coming back out the other side to fully reopening our business. Constant updates on relief funding and options to keep the business alive in the worst possible times. The organization does all sorts of great things to help promote Roger Park and draw positive attention to the neighborhood. Community events, business-to-business events, and more. It's a great network to be a part of. read more

Chicago is a massive city. It's a living, breathing organism that takes a lot of people, energy and ideas to keep it moving. As the official business support entity for Rogers Park, RPBA has been the driving heartbeat but growth and leadership in Rogers Park for decades now. I've had a business in the area for 12 years and having gotten to know the organization, staff and programs, I can safely say that I wish I'd known of organization when I first opened. If you're a business owner in Rogers Park or a resident looking to volunteer for one of their programs, I think getting involved with RPBA would be time well spent. read more

Not that impressed with this local charitable organization... One example, Rogers Park Business Alliance on more than one occasion promoted and held illegal liquor games on the public way. And they also hold S.S.A. city of Chicago contracts to keep our sidewalks clean of snow and litter. They do some good - and - also some unprofessional activity. read more

As a recent immigrant who chased his dreams in the US, I found my home in Rogers Park, a truly diverse community of residents, business owners, and leaders, especially Rogers Park Business Alliance. Through their consistent marketing efforts, this org makes it so easy to get involved and get to know people and be a friendly neighbor to the local shops and businesses. We live for the farmers market and all the goods that it has to offer. Keep up the great work! read more

I reached out to the Rogers Park Business Alliance to get assistance and guidance in several areas pertaining to my small business. I connected with Sheree Moratto who has been a dream to work with! She has put me in touch with a host of other professionals to help me along my journey to growing my business. She has also made herself available via phone and by email to answer any additional questions I may have. I have also completed a GROW course with the Rogers Park Business Alliance which Sheree taught, and she also recently was connected me with a community development group that offers a business financial cohart which I am now taking and loving! I have gained so much knowledge from these courses. I am grateful for her genuine interest in the success of my business. read more

Terrible experience. I participated in the The Live Love Shop Rogers Park rebate program and they claimed they did not receive a receipt I submitted. I spent over $200 in the neighborhood and I was supposed to get a $50 rebate check. This is not the first year that I have had problems with them. I told them that I could bring over the receipts and show them proof, but they did not want to listen to me at all. I don't want anything to do with any of the Rogers Park Business Alliance programs. read more
