What is LGBTBE® Certification?
LGBTBE® is a nationally-recognized certification for for-profit businesses that are majority owned and operated by a member of the LGBTQ+ Community. Like other “minority” certifications — woman-owned or veteran-owned, for example — the LGBTBE® certification can make a business eligible to win contracts with corporations and other entities which want to work intentionally with diverse suppliers.
Certification fees ($899 for initial certification) are completely free for ORPIB Members.
