Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to attract, retain, and create higher-wage jobs for Floridians. Its website describes work to promote Florida as a business destination and connect Florida, U.S., and international businesses in targeted industries with state and local resources.
SelectFlorida’s trade grant materials describe support for qualified companies starting to export or diversifying into new overseas markets. Programs include reimbursable grants for eligible trade shows, Gold Key or business matchmaking services connected to export sales missions, and customized export marketing plans developed with the Florida SBDC Network and the U.S. Commercial Service. The website lists minimum qualifications for trade grant applicants, including being located in Florida, having an active Florida business registration, operating in the state for at least two years, and generally employing at least three and no more than 500 full-time employees. It also lists annual sales of at least $250,000 in the prior calendar year, with case-by-case eligibility possible for organizations below that threshold.
One 2025 grantee, the University of West Florida, describes its own mission as administering gifts and funds for scientific, educational, and charitable purposes to advance the university and support education and its facilities. That is the grantee’s stated mission, not SelectFlorida’s.

Giving varies widely: it reported 9,499 grants in 2024, but its 2025 filing showed one grant of $101.4 million, so that amount is not a typical award.
