What Geneva Chamber of Commerce does
Mission
To be the voice of its members and the business community by maintaining and monitoring selective programs of action which identify issues, provide support in areas of economic development, and foster community pride and recognition.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Swedish days - preparation and management of a five day festival enhancing the business community. This annual event attracts 325,000 tourists and visitors to our business community to increase opportunity for our members to generate sales and create awareness. The festival also stimulates local resident participation and provides a venue for local non-profits to set up food booths, the sales from which, in many cases, are their only source of fundraising for the year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $989k to $456k (−54%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 5% · 2020 9% · 2021 7% · 2022 2% · 2023 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund GENEVA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
