Join Today. Lock In Your Introductory Monthly Rate for 3 Years!*
The Inner City Network is proud to begin its journey in South Carolina first, followed by North Carolina.
To thank the businesses, churches, organizations, and community leaders who help us build this platform from the very beginning, we are introducing our Carolinas Founding Member Program.
For a limited time, eligible members from South Carolina and North Carolina can secure special introductory pricing locked in for three (3) years while their membership remains active and in good standing.
A Carolinas Founding Member is a business, church, or organization that joins The Inner City Network during our launch in South Carolina and North Carolina — while these special introductory rates are still available.
Founding Members lock in their monthly listing price for three (3) years (as long as membership stays active), help launch the platform from the beginning, and earn lasting recognition among the pioneers who built The Inner City Network in the Carolinas.
Your Founding Member rate is guaranteed for three (3) years as long as your membership remains active. At the end of the three-year period, your membership will automatically renew at the current regular membership price unless you cancel your membership before your renewal date. No action is required. The pricing will automatically change to the regular membership rate after the three-year Founding Member period ends.

Today, you have the opportunity to become one of the very first businesses, churches, and organizations to join The Inner City Network — and years from now, you’ll be able to say you were there from the beginning.
Whether you’re the 1st, 5th, 10th, 50th, or among the First 100 Founding Members, your place in the history of The Inner City Network can never be taken away. Along with locking in your Carolinas Founding Member pricing for three years, you’ll forever be recognized as one of the pioneers who helped launch The Inner City Network in South Carolina and North Carolina.
History only has one beginning.
Be part of it.
Both recognition gifts honor the pioneers who helped launch The Inner City Network. Display yours proudly in your office, church, or business as a lasting reminder that you helped build this community platform from the beginning.
If your enrollment places you among the First 100 Founding Members, you will receive an official confirmation and fulfillment notice for the recognition gift that matches your Founding Member number.
