What Metropolitan Contractors Improvement Partnership does
Mission
Metropolitan contractor improvement partnership mcip is a business support and training organization for viable minority and disadvantaged businesses mbe/dbe. Mcip coaches firms to increase their profitability and net worth by improving their business management systems. Our program values are equity, reduction of barriers, education, increased capacity and return on investment for our clients and partners.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Mcip provided multiple trainings to public agencies in the portland region to increase the utilization of dbe/mbe contractors. Utilizing its best practices guide, mcip continued its work to eliminate barriers for dbe/mbe contractors in public agency construction procurements. Through intensive training and mentoring, mcip connected dbe/mbe contractors to large projects in the portland region.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $369k to $222k (−40%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 43% · 2018 58% · 2019 59%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
