Pathway Fund Co-Creates New Enterprise Development Programme with Do it Now Now

We are excited to share our collaboration with Pathway Fund: Make it Big with Pathway Fund.

The programme will provide 12 UK-based charities and enterprises with funding, bespoke support and training over an 18-month period.  During that time, DiNN will help them build their financial resilience and operational readiness, raise social investment and - in some instances - prepare for asset acquisition.

Pathway Fund, a new Black and Ethnic Minoritised-led social investment wholesaler is collaborating with open innovation organisation, Do It Now Now (DiNN), to create a cutting-edge enterprise development programme supporting Black and Ethnic Minoritised-led businesses. 

DiNN were selected as co-creators following a rigorous selection process thanks to our effective interventions through successful learning projects that have a strong track record of supporting community-based enterprises with vital hands-on support. Make it Big is one of DiNN’s entry points, equipping existing non-profits and social enterprises for social investment readiness and systems change.

“Pathway Fund is committed to working with sector stakeholders to develop programmes and products that respond to on-ground needs of the UK’s diverse communities and enterprises." says Pathway Fund Project Manager, Swati Pujari

”Due to the multiple crises we have all had to weather, fantastic individuals are finding themselves in much more dire straits than they would have been at the height of the pandemic. This is also an incredibly difficult time for mission-driven organisations across the country that are ready and willing yet unable to achieve their missions due to the continuation of systemic underfunding and targeted under-resourcing patterns that Black and Global Majority communities have faced.” says DiNN’s Founder and CEO, Bayo Adelaja 

We will be releasing more information about eligibility criteria and application process through our newsletter on October 10th. To be the first to know, subscribe to our Do it Now Now newsletter today.
