The FDIC recognizes the strength that comes from the experiences of a diverse set of partners. The Corporation is committed to the equitable participation of underrepresented groups, including minorities and women, to ensure that all groups have the opportunity to compete for FDIC contracting and asset purchasing and investing opportunities. The FDIC's commitment to diversity and inclusion extends to all organizations within the FDIC.

Our dedication to this mission is demonstrated in the FDIC's Minority and Women Owned Business (MWOB), Minority and Women Owned Investor (MWO Investors), Minority Depository Institution (MDI), and Minority and Women Owned Law Firm (MWOLF) programs, policies, and initiatives. Specifically, we are committed to:

• Expanding outreach activities to be more inclusive of MWOB, MWO Investors, and MWOLF firms,
• Building and developing awareness of contracting, MDI, and asset purchasing and investing opportunities,
• Enhancing the selection process, within existing guidelines, to increase MWOB and MWOLF participation,
• Monitoring progress and establishing accountability within the contracting and asset purchasing and investing processes.
