What Iowa Chamber Alliance does
Mission
To promote the common business interests of its members within the meaning of section 501(c)(6) of the internal revenue code by providing leadership on key issues and strategic policy recommendations by supporting proactive programs that stimulate economic growth opportunities for the entire state of iowa and its residents.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Policy development. The main function of the organization is to develop policies at the state level that stimulate strong economic growth, resulting in additional jobs and increased state and local revenues. Our member organizations work on economic development at the local level to encourage business relocation, expansion and entrepreneurship in iowa communities. The ica helps to ensure that there are state and local tools in place to help encourage this growth. This includes working with the iowa governor's office, the iowa economic development authority and legislators to develop, implement and execute programs available for business attraction and expansion. This activity takes place with agencies in their offices and with legislators at the iowa capitol. The organization utilizes contracts with lobbyists and an executive director to carry out this purpose, with assistance from the member organizations. This activity has been carried out since the inception of ica. It furthers ica's exempt purpose of promoting the common interests of its member organizations by working to coordinate statewide economic development policies with the local initiatives of our members. This work…
Networking and professional development. A secondary activity for the organization is to provide a vehicle for networking and professional development between chamber executives and their staff. Significant time is devoted at monthly in-person meetings to discuss approaches to similar issues and to share ideas. In addition to monthly meetings, the ica hosts an annual retreat that spends significant time on professional development as well as periodic professional development opportunities through webinars. Topics for the retreat and professional development opportunities vary based upon significant topics, but certain subjects are standard such as information on economic development tools and policies. These activities are done in person as well as virtually and are typically provided by the executive director. However, topics of interest may require outside presenters based upon areas of expertise. This activity happens on a regular basis and has occurred since the inception of ica. It furthers ica's exempt purpose of promoting the common interests of its member organizations by educating our local members about economic development practices that have worked in other areas and…
Public affairs and education. Another secondary activity is working on education on economic development for the broader public. The ica executes luncheons, receptions and other events to discuss our broader priorities along with providing information on iowa's economic growth. The programs are typically run by the executive committee with support from the executive director. The executive director also puts on webinar trainings that are offered to the members of the individual chambers on topics that are important to economic development at the federal, state and local levels. This activity has been carried out since 2018. It furthers ica's exempt purpose of promoting common interests of its member organizations by educating the public at large about economic development practices that can be used to improve their communities.
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $83k to $10k (−88%).
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.
100% of IOWA CHAMBER ALLIANCE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
