The purpose of the Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) program in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools (WS/FCS) system is to ensure equitable opportunities for businesses owned by minorities and women to participate in procurement and contracting processes.

The program is designed to promote diversity, economic inclusion, and social equity by supporting and empowering MWBEs to compete effectively for school district contracts.

This initiative helps foster a diverse business environment, contributes to the local economy, and reflects WS/FCS's commitment to fairness and equality in public spending.
