Being awarded a government contract can open the doors to many opportunities you never thought possible. And women-owned businesses are in hot demand. Five percent of all government contracts must be awarded to women-owned businesses (and there’s talk of increasing that percentage). A partnership between the nonpartisan group Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) and American Express OPEN, the Give Me 5 program is designed to educate women business owners on how to apply for and secure federal contracting opportunities. Through online workshops and live webinars, Give Me 5 guides business owners through the CCR registration process, tells them how to market to the federal government and informs them about special programs for various types of businesses.
