Expanding Certification Programs NGLCC has a long-standing certification program for LGBT-owned businesses since 2004, demonstrating a strong foundation for engaging with certified businesses seeking growth opportunities. Outreach to these certified enterprises offers potential for B2B services, supplier partnerships, and capacity-building solutions.

Corporate Partnership Opportunities Recent collaborations with major corporations like JPMorgan Chase, Sysco, and GrubHub highlight a proactive approach to corporate social responsibility and supplier diversity. These companies may be interested in tailored diversity and inclusion programs, sponsorships, or joint events targeting their diverse vendor networks.

Professional Development Programs NGLCC’s initiatives such as iLead and their leadership training programs present avenues for selling training, mentorship platforms, and digital solutions aimed at enhancing the leadership and technical skills of LGBT entrepreneurs and organizations.

Funding and Growth Support With recent grants and investments, including $500K from Wells Fargo, NGLCC supports small businesses in scaling operations. This presents opportunities to offer financial services, consulting, or technology infrastructure that complements their growth and capacity-building efforts.

Market Engagement & Events Hosting the largest LGBT business conference positions NGLCC as a central hub for market networking and collaboration. Providing event management, marketing technology, or sponsorship services can enhance their flagship event and support engagement with diverse business communities.
