The business model is membership dues-driven, with two tiers: Standard membership at $49 per year and Platinum membership at $250 per year. Revenue is supplemented by corporate sponsorships organized into Silver tier (BMO Harris Bank and loanDepot) and Bronze tier (Chicago Title, Citi, Radon Testers, and US Bank). The chapter employs 5 people and operates as a local affiliate of the national non-profit, with no disclosed financials, technology stack, or proprietary platform.
