The Multicultural Business Coalition develops programs and initiatives to strengthen businesses, expand economic opportunity, and connect multicultural business communities with the resources, relationships, and opportunities needed to grow.
Our programs are designed to make a meaningful difference for entrepreneurs and established businesses. Working with chambers of commerce, business organizations, corporations, financial institutions, government agencies, and strategic partners, MBC focuses on the areas that drive growth and long-term success.
Access to financing remains essential to starting, sustaining, and growing a business. MBC works to connect businesses with the organizations that serve them with information, financial resources, lenders, investors, and other capital opportunities.
Through partnerships, educational programs, and special initiatives, we help businesses better understand available financing options and build relationships with institutions committed to expanding access to capital.
MBC helps connect businesses with procurement and contracting opportunities across the public and private sectors.
Programs may include procurement forums, opportunity briefings, business matchmaking, introductions to corporate and government buyers, and information designed to help businesses better position themselves to compete for contracts.
MBC works with corporations, institutions, chambers, and business organizations to strengthen connections with multicultural and diverse suppliers.
Through supplier-development initiatives, business introductions, networking opportunities, and strategic partnerships, MBC helps create stronger pathways between businesses seeking opportunities and organizations seeking qualified suppliers and partners.
Knowledge is an important part of business growth. MBC connects members with workshops, forums, briefings, educational programs, professional expertise, and business resources covering issues that affect entrepreneurs and growing companies. Programs are designed to help businesses strengthen operations, identify opportunities, build capacity, and prepare for sustainable growth.
MBC promotes opportunities for businesses to build relationships beyond their local markets. Through international business and trade missions, delegations, cross-border business engagement, and strategic partnerships, we connect members with business leaders, chambers, government representatives, buyers, suppliers, investors, and other partners in international markets.
MBC advocates on issues affecting multicultural businesses, entrepreneurs, chambers, and the communities they serve.
The Coalition works to ensure that the perspectives of its members are represented in conversations surrounding economic development, small business policy, procurement, access to capital, contracting, and other issues that can affect business growth and opportunity.
MBC’s programs are strengthened by the participation of its members, corporate partners, chambers, business organizations, and community stakeholders. By bringing these networks together, the Coalition can help turn connections into opportunities and opportunities into sustainable economic growth.
