The
Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) provides Federal assistance to

of minority enterprises. This Announcement is a mechanism to encourage new

program are not congressionally directed funds or designated for existing funded

contracts and other agreements with public or private
organizations.
MBDA

management education to entrepreneurs and start-up businesses with innovative
products or services in inner city areas with high concentrations of minority
persons and minority-owned businesses. Applications responding to this
announcement must present projects that support start-up businesses and
established entrepreneurs in inner cities and urban areas in a U.S. state or
U.S. territory with high concentrations of minority populations and minority
business enterprises.
