# Prince George's Chamber Launches Equity Initiative

 By   Marcus Simon  ·   1 minute read

**Bowie, Maryland** — The [Prince George’s County Chamber of Commerce](https://pgcoc.org/equity-in-procurement/?utm_source=gemini) is expanding its major initiative—the [Equity in Procurement Program](https://pgcoc.org/equity-in-procurement/?utm_source=gemini)—aimed at strengthening local minority-owned and small businesses across the region. 

As detailed on the [Prince George's Chamber of Commerce EIP portal](https://pgcoc.org/equity-in-procurement/?utm_source=gemini), the six-month program is designed to close economic gaps by providing smaller enterprises with direct access to capital, corporate contracting opportunities, and specialized business development training.

Prince George’s County boasts one of the highest concentrations of minority-owned businesses in the nation. However, chamber leaders noted that many small entrepreneurs still face significant hurdles when trying to scale their operations or secure major government and corporate supply chain contracts.

To address these challenges, the EIP cohort creates a structured training system connecting local business owners directly with major corporate partners. Participants gain access to resources that help them secure Minority Business Enterprise certifications and successfully apply for high-value contracts.

"Economic growth must be inclusive if our entire county is going to thrive," Chamber leadership emphasized regarding the program's mission. "This initiative ensures that our local entrepreneurs have the exact tools, networks, and investments needed to compete on a larger stage."

Major regional corporate and organizational partners—including [CareFirst](https://pgcoc.org/equity-in-procurement/?utm_source=gemini), [FSC First](https://pgcoc.org/equity-in-procurement/?utm_source=gemini), Pepco, Clark Construction, and Turner Construction—have backed the effort to provide direct advisory support and procurement access to local entrepreneurs.
