Women business owners stand to gain more than $5 Billion in increased annual revenues. Give me 5 is making it happen by reaching the 5% goal.
THE SITUATION: Every year, the federal government spends $400 billion on goods and services.
THE REALITY: The Equity in Contracting for Women Act (2000) stipulates that federal agencies award 5% of all contracts to women-owned business. But nine years later that number is only 3.4%.
THE PLAN: Through seminars, events and online resources, Give Me 5 breaks down the process of applying for federal contracts.
