It’s Not Just What We Build.
It’s Who Builds It.
Join public agencies and private sector companies across the country committed to increasing the number, size and proportion of contracts going to Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs*) in the infrastructure space. This builds generational wealth, reduces the racial wealth gap and creates more competition for public contracts, saving taxpayer dollars and delivering better value for infrastructure investments.

What EIP Does
By signing our pledge, CEOs of public and private organizations commit to actions that advance our mission to build generational wealth and reduce the racial wealth gap by creating more prime, joint venture and equity partner contracting opportunities for HUBs. In doing so, agencies create more competition for public contracts, resulting in taxpayer savings and delivering better value for infrastructure investments. EIP works with federal, state and local government, as well as NGOs to achieve these goals.
EIP was founded by Denver International Airport CEO Phillip A. Washington, former US Deputy Secretary of Transportation John D. Porcari and others in anticipation of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Our work is supported by Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, Social Impact Fund, HNTB, STV, Anser Advisory, The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and The James Irvine Foundation.
