What South Dakota Chamber of Commerce & Industry does
Mission
The south dakota chamber of commerce and industry will provide leadership to ensure a vigorous and prosperous business climate for the benefits of all south dakotans.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The governor's giant vision competition is designed to encourage and develop the entrepreneurial spirit in south dakota. South dakota residents and fulltime students of south dakota colleges, universities and technical schools apply to the program by submitting complete business plans and supporting documents. All entrants are judged by an initial panel of experienced individuals. The selected finalists go on to compete during an event that includes formal presentations by the student competitors and those in the open, or business, competition to their respective panel of judges. Winners in each are selected and announced during the awards program. Cash prizes are awarded.
Legislative advocacy and research - the chamber functions as an advocate for our members and for all businesses in south dakota. This advocacy is done in the legislature, before state agencies, and directly with the public in the form of initiative campaigns. Each year, the south dakota chamber monitors legislation for bills that pose a threat to our members and to the overall business climate of the state. We are present every day to lobby for our members. When important issues are discussed at the department level, the chamber is at the table, bringing a respected voice to the conversations. Each week during the legislative session members have the opportunity to participate in online legislative briefings and receive regular issues of a newsletter titled "capitol-ism" which gives analysis of key issues in a way that members can apply to their business or updates as key bills move through the process.
Business day provides an opportunity for attendees to gather in pierre and learn about current legislative issues being debated and hear from leading speakers. Attendees vote their opinions on legislative issues during the annual business caucus via text messages, with the results being tabulated and displayed. The results, representing diverse demographics, are delivered to state legislators the next day.
Economic outlook seminar - the annual seminar provides attendees with updated information on the state's economy, an education about the factors that drive the economy and features speakers addressing a certain segment of the economy.
The 4 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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 $184k to $242k (+32%).
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 8% · 2020 5% · 2021 18% · 2022 9% · 2023 8% · 2024 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 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.
