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.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2025, SelectFlorida reported 13 grants totaling $156,180. Grant amounts ranged from $6,720 to $32,000, with a median of $10,000. The stated grant purpose was to support small and medium-sized businesses in identifying export markets and participating in trade shows or missions.

Notable 2025 grants included $32,000 to John Worthington DBA IBT Online LLC in Waltham, Massachusetts; $18,500 to the University of West Florida in Pensacola; and $15,000 to Modular Thermal Technologies DBA Life Wear Technologies LLC in Pompano Beach. Other listed grants included $10,000 each to Global AirServices LLC, HC Biologics LLC, Loos & Co Inc, MCI-Medical Concept Innovation Inc, Rapid Viral Detection Systems, Red Six Aerospace Inc DBA Red 6 Defense Systems LLC, and Viewpoint Systems LLC. The filing also lists $7,240 to Gama Medical Florida LLC and $6,720 to Organic Farms Vitamins Corp.

SelectFlorida describes its trade grants as reimbursable. Its filing states that grantees submit documentation after an event verifying participation and expenses, and payment is issued once the amount is verified.
