What The Ethernet Alliance does
Mission
The Ethernet Alliance mission is to promote industry awareness, acceptance, and advancement of technology and products based on both existing and emerging ieee 802 ethernet standards and their management.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Events: hosting events at major shows/expositions throughout year, such as sc10, a supercomputing show. The Ethernet Alliance had a booth and technology demonstration that member companies could participate in, as well as various public relations such as a press release and conference.
Technology exploration forum: hosting forums where industry experts fill in panels that discuss controversial technology topics, and help formulate decisions and strategies. Members could attend, participate on panels, or sponsor advertisements.
Plugfests: these are interoperability demonstrations where members can elect to all meet at a testing facility at the same time, and take test data that shows all of their equipment will talk with everyone else's. A test report is generated. They then may choose to be part of a press release of the event.
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $451k to $271k (−40%).
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.
0% of THE ETHERNET ALLIANCE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 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.
