Overview
Mission
The Gresham Area Chamber Foundation is organized to support the charitable, scientific and educational functions and purposes of the Gresham Area Chamber of Commerce. The foundation shall seek to advance and diffuse knowledge and understanding of economics, finance, education, housing, human relations, problems of minority groups, economic planning and development, to foster appreciation for music and the arts in east Multnomah County, and to lessen the burdens of government and combat community deterioration and juvenile delinquency through the conduct of training courses, apprenticeships, internships, seminars, discussion groups, forums, panels and lectures.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
