Minority and Women's Business Enterprise (M/WBE)
Through the M/WBE program, the City of Greensboro provides minorities and women equal opportunity to participate in all aspects of City contracting and purchasing programs, and prohibits discrimination against a person or business in pursuit of these opportunities on the basis of race, color, sex, religion or national origin.
Why does our City need the M/WBE?
The City of Greensboro recognizes that businesses have different needs. By providing education and technical assistance to minority- and women-owned firms, the City opens bid opportunities to all businesses.
Economic development through inclusion
 The mission of the City's M/WBE program is to promote equality of economic opportunities for M/WBEs and to eliminate barriers to their participation in City contracts.
The M/WBE program is committed to achieving City Council's vision for increasing opportunities for M/WBEs by providing increased knowledge about City projects, greater access to project managers, and links to resource networks that help assist your business. Please contact us for assistance at 336-373-2674.
Return on investment
Research shows that minority- and women-owned firms tend to employ a larger number of women and minorities. The quality and diversity of goods and services offered by these firms and their growth equals greater economic expansion, more jobs, and increased revenue, all of which add to our tax base. It’s an investment in the future of our city.
The M/WBE Plan has been revised to comply with NC laws for uniform certification and can be downloaded here for review.
