Overview

Mission

Advocacy and research for Florida's green industry on environmental and related issues

What it reported doing in 2025

Environmental research related activities (approx. 5% of organizational effort) we pursue dialogue with our land-grant university in Florida (university of Florida) and their related extension personnel to understand the latest updates. We also use outside researchers to help expand our reach on specific technical matters.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
