About the Foundation

The Florida Chamber of Commerce Foundation is a research organization and problem-solver, working in partnership with state business leaders to advance and fund activities in public policy research in order to promote a healthy Florida economy. Founded 39 years ago by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber Foundation has been a critical voice for improved public education and a pro-business, pro-Florida business climate that allows Florida to grow and prosper.
