An online platform to do the heavy lifting for you

Asking the same members over and over for money isn’t working.

In order to be a trusted guide for businesses in your community, you need resources to fund your programming and staffing. Constantly asking the same members for money is not only stressful, it’s discouraging.

As a chamber professional, you’ve got hundreds of responsibilities – asking members for what feels like a "chamber donation" shouldn’t be one of them.

A Permanent Solution to Your Non-Dues Revenue Problem

A YGM Total Resource Campaign (TRC) develops the leadership, staff, marketing, and financial resources for your chamber’s comprehensive program of work by securing business sponsors through an all-volunteer program.

A Chamber that Runs like a
Profitable Business

We’re not just here to help you make a one-time cash grab. At YGM, we believe you and your members deserve more. We’re committed to implementing systems that will upgrade your operations and decrease your stress levels.

“Running a chamber isn’t easy. I’ve been there. Our program was made for chamber professionals who want off the hamster wheel.”

YGM President & CEO Jason E. Ebey, IOM

When Jason E. Ebey, IOM became a chamber CEO for the first time, he was a young 21-year-old who knew very little about how a chamber operates.

As Jason tells it, he had to learn as he went along and the process itself was anything but linear.

From helping chambers over the last 20 years, Jason discovered something interesting about his own early experience. On-the-job learning and being overwhelmed in the chamber industry is not unique.

That’s why at YGM, Jason and his team want to give chamber leaders more than the average 200-800% of increased non-dues revenue (and that’s just in the first year!). At YGM, we want to give you the tools to run your chamber like a profitable business so you can achieve a stress-free, stable budget year after year.

“As we initiated a YGM TRC and strategically reviewed our existing offerings, we were shocked to learn the sponsorship & marketing opportunities we were leaving on the table. Because of the YGM TRC, we are able to begin each year knowing sponsorships are secured, enabling us to create a solid budget and program of work.”
