Become part of the movement Advancing the Florida 2030 Blueprint Every Day

Florida is now the third most populous state and by 2030, 26 million Floridians will call Florida home; over 1 million net new jobs will be needed to accommodate expected population growth.

To prepare for this continued growth, the Florida Chamber Foundation has released a strategic plan for Florida’s future — the Florida 2030 Blueprint. This is our opportunity to work together to strengthen your community, business, and future. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Florida Chamber Foundation’s mission is made possible by the membership investment of our Community Development Partners.
