Half of them live in 152, of florida's 983 zip codes. The florida prosperity initiative was born out of the idea that the zip code a person is born into should not dictate their future opportunities. We believe no child should wonder where their next meal will come from. We believe that no child should wonder where they will safely sleep at night. We believe that no child should worry about who will protect them. Part of the florida chamber foundation's florida 2030 blueprint, the goal of the florida prosperity initiative is to cut florida's childhood poverty in half by 2030, replacing childhood poverty and government dependency with self-sufficiency and prosperity.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $9.6M to $12M (+24%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 7% · 2025 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 11 funders, grant income rose $166k → $1.1M.
3 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $688k from 9 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America). These are real filings, and they are not money FLORIDA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOUNDATION INC raised.
From the IRS filings of FLORIDA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
FLORIDA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOUNDATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
35% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FLORIDA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 79% · 2019 50% · 2020 37% · 2021 45% · 2022 61% · 2023 38% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
36% of FLORIDA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 36% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
FLORIDA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOUNDATION INC draws 75% of its grant income from funders outside Florida, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $79k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
