Established in 2022, five friends and colleagues with a common vision answered the requests of minority business enterprises to build an inclusive and safe place where businesses could come together and support each other in a way not currently available. Out of this vision, the Northwest Minority Builders Alliance (NWMBA) was born.

NWMBA is a locally-controlled Washington State based nonprofit business league organization serving the Pacific Northwest.

We are a business league providing minority, women, and veteran business enterprises:

1) connections with professional services, construction, real estate, and other related industry leaders, influencers, and decision makers;

2) advocacy through effective public policy initiatives that remove barriers to success and level the playing field; and

3) technical assistance and professional training

to prosper and strengthen their communities at large.

What makes us different is:

• we embrace minority, women, and veteran business enterprises (M/W/DBE);
• our extensive and cutting edge experience and expertise in all aspects of public works and public/private development, including but not limited to public policy and programs, design and construction, and the workforce pipeline;
• our M/W/VBE self-determination as locally run and managed;
• we use outcomes rather than output measures; and
• our core belief is no one gets left behind.
