The MWBE Program is a state-wide goal oriented program, whereby goals are established as reasonable objectives for MWBE participation in projects that receive SRF financial assistance. Prime Contractors are required to conduct good faith efforts in order to achieve a 20% combined MBE and WBE participation goal for their contracts.
Effective October 1, 2012, EFC will administer the goal as a combined goal, which means any combination of MBE and WBE participation that equals or exceeds 20% of the value of the applicable contracts/agreements will be considered to meet the goal. EFC no longer provides regionally specific goals;the 20% goal is applied statewide to the following contracts:
