National Minority Supplier Development Council
MPS Group is proud to be a Corporate Plus member of the NMSDC.
Founded in 1972, the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) is the longest-operating business growth engine for the broadest group of systematically excluded communities of color (Asian-Indian, Asian-Pacific, Black, Hispanic, and Native American), and our impact goes far beyond supply chain. It's about upward mobility for the emerging majority of Americans, an equal shot at participating in the American experiment of free-market capitalism and entrepreneurship. Our work is about correcting the unequal access to wealth-building opportunities.
For the last 50 years, NMSDC has been advocating access to the American dream for MBEs. Our success is historic and unmatched: over 17,000 MBEs connected to more than 1,700 corporations, resulting in $482.1 billion in economic output annually, sustaining 1.8 million jobs, with $136.4 billion in total wages earned. We are the nation's largest, most impactful, and most successful nonprofit advocacy organization for MBEs, proving growth for MBEs is growth for all.
