about us benefits health insurance events resources members partnerships join

Center City Proprietors Association is a non-profit, member-supported organization founded in 1978 to provide insight, resources and support to Philadelphia's small business community.

CCPA's staff and Board of Directors work tirelessly to fulfill the Association's mission:

"…to foster communication, cooperation, education and services among the small businesses of Center City Philadelphia and to maintain, promote and improve the commercial vitality of Center City Philadelphia."

In recent years, CCPA has grown stronger than ever, and is currently:

• advocating for greater support programs for small business
• meeting regularly with City Council members
• providing the City with input on hot topics such as taxes, parking and zoning
• producing numerous monthly events

In addition to CCPA's activism, we also offer a variety of member benefits that allow small businesses to do smarter business. Members know that CCPA is a practical source of business information, and an essential tool for finding out how and where to get things done in the City. We make things happen!
