What Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce does

The Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit member association serving businesses in the City of Chino and surrounding Chino Valley region of San Bernardino County, California. Its core functions are business networking, civic advocacy, workforce development, and youth career programming, delivered through initiatives such as a 10-month Leadership Collaborative, a Workforce Development program that places over 100 job seekers per year, and a Youth Pathways internship pipeline that has placed 72 interns since August 2022. The Chamber operates additional programming including business roundtables, professional development workshops (e.g., legal clinics with Inland Counties Legal Services), and member education delivered in part through a video series.

The organization is structured as a small-staff non-profit with 1-10 employees, operating since 1913 and using the GrowthZone SaaS platform for membership management. Its revenue model is built on tiered individual and business membership dues ranging from $350 to $950 per year, supplemented by event sponsorships and a Chairman's Circle program that anchors relationships with larger regional employers and institutions such as Chino Hills Ford, Health Service Alliance, Waste Management, Vertical Computers, Athens Services, and Ontario International Airport. In 2026 it is scheduled to launch the Chino Valley Chamber Foundation as a parallel fundraising vehicle, indicating an intent to broaden its funding base beyond dues and event fees.
