Supporting Our Work

Opportunities

The America - Israel Chamber of Commerce Chicago is a membership organization, and a significant portion of our operating income comes from membership dues at various levels of commitment.  We welcome membership from commercial and professional organizations both in Israel and in the United States, for the revenue it provides, but even more for the energy and advocacy that volunteer leadership brings to our cause.  Click here for more info.

Cooperative Activities

In addition to the direct financial support we receive from membership dues, we benefit from our cooperation with other Israel-focused not-for-profit organizations. This provides valuable exposure to the AICC and to its work in fostering bi-lateral trade between Israel and the United States, and especially Chicago, the Silicon Prairie, and the Midwestern states.

Grants, Sponsorships, and Special Events

Other important revenue sources are grants, sponsorships, and the proceeds from our Annual Awards Dinner (a co-presentation with the America-Israel Economic Forum, a 501(c)(3) corporation). 

Corporate and business support also comes through sponsorships and advertising revenues from our annual Buy Israel Goods Directory and the AICC web site.

America-Israel Economic Forum

Individuals wishing to make contributions to heighten awareness of the benefits of conducting business with and in Israel do so through the America-Israel Economic Forum, a charitable educational foundation that works in cooperation with AICC and is the region’s only organization providing educational information on this important topic.
