Diversify your supply chains and contracts by engaging more female and BIPOC owned companies to bid on work with your organization.
When you increase supplier diversity among your vendors, you benefit both your business and the community at large.
Prosper CO is partnering with the Denver Metro Small Business Development Center and other community partners to help connect you with minority- and women-owned businesses.
If you are already engaged in increasing supplier diversity within your organization and know of women- or minority-owned businesses we should be sharing with purchasing departments, please contact us.
If you are a woman or minority-owned business who would like your information to be shared with purchasing departments, email China Califf, director of the Denver Metro Small Business Development Center.
