Fontana Chamber of Commerce

What Fontana Chamber of Commerce does

The Fontana Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit business membership organization founded in 1914 and headquartered at 8491 Sierra Ave., Fontana, California, serving local small and medium-sized businesses in the City of Fontana and the surrounding San Bernardino County area. With approximately 11 employees, the chamber operates as a community-driven hub for local commerce, providing member businesses with networking events (monthly business networking meetings, membership luncheons, annual business summit), a searchable online member directory, advocacy representation, and community engagement programming including the S.E.R.V.E. initiative for veteran entrepreneurs and the Manufacturing & Logistics Council.

The chamber's technology backbone is the GrowthZone membership management platform, which powers the member directory, event registration, member applications, and benefit administration delivered through business.fontanachamber.org. Its core product surface comprises six service lines: the Member Directory, Member Benefits program, S.E.R.V.E. Program for veteran entrepreneurs, Community Calendar, Chamber Events Calendar, and Event Registration system. In 2026, the organization launched "Get in the Mix," introducing three new member-exclusive groups to expand programmatic depth.

The chamber's revenue model is built on recurring membership dues and event sponsorship revenue, with pricing tiers not publicly disclosed. It serves a hybrid segmentation of SMB local businesses (primary vertical segment) and veteran entrepreneurs (secondary persona segment), supported by an event-driven and community-led go-to-market motion. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors, is not backed by venture capital or private equity, and operates as an independent nonprofit with no parent company.
