Application for Government Contracts

This project will expand pathways for African immigrants and entrepreneurs to access NYC and NYS contracting opportunities, creating job and revenue pathways and strengthening economic mobility. Volunteers will help AfCoFo act as a bridge between communities and public institutions, enabling long-term inclusion and opportunity for African-owned businesses in New York City.

AfCoFo will collaborate closely with the volunteer and provide access to current registration documents and stakeholders for interviews and training. Volunteers will co-develop templates, processes, and staff training materials.
