Minority-Owned Dealers Programs

We are extremely proud of our recent success in the increasing number of minority-owned FCA dealerships across the United States. We are dedicated to the development and growth of minority dealership owners, and have set up a number of programs to further the careers of our candidates.

• Future Dealer Candidate Development Program
  Existing minority managers learn all aspects of owning and operating a dealership.

• National Dealer Council Representation
  To ensure representation, we reserve one seat for a minority dealer on our National Dealer Council.
  

• National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers (NAMAD)
  Each year, the Company makes a significant donation to NAMAD to support training and education programs for minority dealers. Learn more >
  

• Chrysler Minority Dealers Association (CMDA)

Supplier Diversity

In addition to the minority dealership programs, we embrace the ingenuity that comes from having every perspective at the table and are committed to providing opportunities for diverse suppliers.

Since 1983, the Company has purchased over $80 billion from minority-owned, women-owned and veteran-owned suppliers. In 2019, FCA US spent over $8 billion with more than 300 diverse suppliers.

Our supplier diversity goals require that up to 8.5 percent of a tier-one supplier spend be sourced to certified minority-owned businesses, 3 percent sourced with women-owned businesses and 1 percent sourced with veteran-owned businesses. Furthermore FCA focuses on inclusion by sourcing from certified LGBTQ-owned and disable-owned suppliers.

Our dedication to supplier diversity has led us to create innovative programs, such as our annual MatchMaker event, which provides diverse businesses access to our leadership and buyers, tier one suppliers and leaders from advocacy and certifying organizations. Now in its 21st year, MatchMaker has generated more than $3.0 billion in new business opportunities for minority, women, veteran, LGBTQ, disabled and small businesses.

In 2019, FCA US received the following honors for its supplier diversity efforts:

• Benchmark Corporation of the Year from Rainbow Push Coalition

• Corporation of the Year from the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council

• Supplier Excellence Awards from the Great Lakes Women Business Council

• America’s Top Corporation from the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council

• President's Award Nominee from Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council
