Grapevine Chamber Of Commerce

What Grapevine Chamber Of Commerce does

The Grapevine Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c)(6) non-profit voluntary business organization founded in 1952 and headquartered at 200 Vine Street, Grapevine, Texas, within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex adjacent to DFW International Airport. It serves more than 1,000 member businesses ranging from sole proprietors to enterprises with 100+ employees, and it is one of only 21 Five-Star Accredited Chambers among 38 accredited chambers in Texas and one of 125 among 7,000 chambers nationally, a designation originally awarded in 2015 and reaccredited in 2021 by the US Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber's core offerings include tiered membership ($345-$995 annually, scaled by employee count), a searchable online member directory with enhanced listing and website sponsorship tiers ($180-$1,680), a job board, member-to-member Hot Deals platform, an interactive event calendar with RSVP and calendar integration, and an annual Community Directory & Referral Guide published via FlippingBook. These services run on third-party chamber management software (GrowthZone) rather than proprietary technology. Supporting programs include the Women's Division, Grapevine Young Professionals, Leadership Grapevine, the Ambassadors volunteer program, and an Economic Development Partnership. The Grapevine Chamber Foundation operates as a separate 501(c)(3) entity for philanthropic activity.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring membership dues, multi-tier corporate sponsorships ($2,000 Bronze through $15,000 Diamond), event ticket and sponsorship revenue from signature events (Great Taste of Grapevine, Casino Night, Christmas Parade, Golf Tournament, Spooky Soirée, Wine Dinner Fundraiser), and transactional fees for enhanced listings, job postings, and Certificate of Origin services. Distribution is primarily direct-to-local: through an online membership portal, in-person office engagement, and regional community events.
