1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• TRAVEL AND TOURISM: THE CHAMBER PUBLISHES AND DISTRIBUTES ONE TOURISM GUIDEBOOK ANNUALLY, THE VERMONT ANNUAL INSPIRATION GUIDE, AND MANAGES A STATEWIDE TOURISM BUSINESS DIRECTORY. MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS CAN PURCHASE ADVERTISEMENTS AND LISTINGS IN THE MAGAZINE AND DIRECTORY, WHICH ARE BOTH PRINT AND WEB-BASED. MEMBERS ARE PROVIDED A DISCOUNT AS A BENEFIT OF MEMBERSHIP, WHICH FURTHERS THE CHAMBER'S MISSION TO CREATE AN ECONOMIC CLIMATE CONDUCIVE TO BUSINESS GROWTH. EXPENSES RELATED TO TRAVEL AND TOURISM CONSIST PRIMARILY OF PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION COSTS, AS WELL AS THE SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR ADVERTISING SALES AND SUPPORT STAFF.

• EVENTS: THE CHAMBER HOSTS SEVERAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, GENERATING REVENUE FROM SPONSORSHIPS, EXHIBITION BOOTH SALES AND GENERAL ADMISSION. THE LARGEST EVENTS INCLUDE THE VERMONT ECONOMIC CONFERENCE, THE MANUFACTURING SUMMIT AND THE CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARDS. EXPENSES RELATED TO EVENTS ARE RELATED TO EVENT MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS FACILITY RENTAL, CATERING AND PROMOTIONAL COSTS.

• MEMBERSHIP: THE CHAMBER'S MEMBERSHIP BASE IS COMPRISED OF ROUGHLY 1,000 VERMONT BUSINESSES THAT PAY DUES ANNUALLY IN AN AMOUNT BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE BUSINESS. MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM EXPENSES CONSIST PRIMARILY OF THOSE RELATING TO SALES PERSONNEL AND MEMBER RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION.

• GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS: THERE ARE THREE LOBBYISTS EMPLOYED BY THE CHAMBER WHO ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF VERMONT BUSINESSES ON ISSUES IDENTIFIED AS IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS. THIS IS VIEWED AS A SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT OF MEMBERSHIP IN THE CHAMBER AND DOES NOT GENERATE DIRECT REVENUE. EXPENSES ARE PRIMARILY PERSONNEL-RELATED, AND ALSO INCLUDE ANY OUTSIDE CONSULTING FEES PAID. VACE: THE CHAMBER WAS THE ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE VACE INSURANCE PROGRAM, A GROUP DENTAL AND VISION INSURANCE ASSOCIATION PLAN. THE VACE ASSOCIATION PLAN COVERED NEARLY 1,000 SMALL BUSINESSES IN VERMONT. ALL PREMIUM BILLING, ENROLLMENTS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE HANDLED BY THE CHAMBER STAFF. REVENUE TO THE CHAMBER WAS IN THE FORM OF MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CONTRACT FEES BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SUBSCRIBERS AT THE END OF EACH MONTH. EXPENSES RELATE TO SALARIES, BENEFITS AND POSTAGE.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.
