Donating to the Northwest Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council (NWMMSDC) is more than just a charitable contribution—it’s an investment in catalyzing economic growth, creating opportunities for fellow US businesses, and building a stronger, more resilient community. Here are four benefits of donating to the Northwest Mountain MSDC: 

1. Contribute Tax-Free
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, NWMMSDC’s efforts are supported by tax-deductible donations. This means that your generous contribution not only helps fuel the Council’s mission but may also provide valuable financial benefits for you or your business. 

2. Support Minority-Owned Businesses
Your donation goes directly toward empowering minority-owned businesses in the Northwest Mountain region. These funds help provide critical development opportunities, networking events, and scholarships, such as for the University of Washington’s Minority Business Enterprise Program (MBEP). By donating, you’re helping ensure that other companies have the resources they need to thrive. 

3. Promote Economic Equity
One of the key missions of NWMMSDC is to support a prosperous economy. Donations help to fund initiatives aimed at certifying, developing, and connecting minority-owned businesses with the larger supply chain, while advocating for their growth. Your donation helps accelerate these efforts and contributes to a more balanced and equitable economic landscape. 

4. Empower Local Communities
When you donate to the NWMMSDC, you’re not just helping businesses—you’re also investing in local communities. In 2024, the MBEs certified with the Northwest Mountain MSDC employed over 50,000 people. By supporting minority-owned businesses, you help create jobs, increase wealth, and promote growth in the communities you operate in. Your contribution plays a direct role in driving positive impact and fostering prosperity in the Northwest Mountain region.
 

Anyone Can Donate
Whether you’re an individual or a corporation, anyone can donate to the NWMMSDC and contribute to the vital work being done to uplift our businesses and communities. No matter the size of your donation, every contribution helps to build a stronger, flourishing economy for all.
