What Wisconsin Lgbt Chamber of Commerce does
Mission
The chamber will work to be the business advocate for the lgbtq business community in all of wisconsin.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
During 2024, the wisconsin lgbt chamber accomplished its goal to create a more inclusive economy by expanding and strengthening programs and services for members statewide. This included growing our technical assistance offerings, such as launching a new virtual educational series, and enhancing signature programs like the business leadership academy, lgbtq workplace alliance, and entrepreneur bootcamp, which hosted additional trainings around the state. The chamber increased corporate engagement around supplier diversity and worked to promote the lgbte certification to businesses and helped open procurement opportunities. The chamber hosted numerous events to foster connection and ended the year with 667 business members.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990.
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. 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 2022 to 2023, from $275k to $356k (+30%).
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: 2021 19% · 2022 20% · 2023 55% · 2024 61%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of WISCONSIN LGBT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

65% 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 WISCONSIN LGBT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
