Public Sector Inclusion Opportunities
NGLCC has worked with many state and local governments to accept the Certified LGBTBE® status as a part of their supplier diversity program.
Benefits of Certification
Becoming a Certified LGBTBE® gives your business the opportunity to compete for sourcing contracts with NGLCC's partners.
These corporate and government partners have an inclusive supply chain that includes LGBTQ+-owned businesses, giving LGBTQ+ and other small businesses the opportunity to compete for business based on merit, quality, and competitiveness of their products. Getting your business certified is one way to be found and gain access to these business opportunities.
