Make it Big with Pathway Fund

A small number of grants, tailored support and expert training is available to help Black and Global Majority-led charities and social enterprises based in England to build resilience, tackle systemic challenges and amplify their mission for greater change.

Pathway Fund, a Black and Global Majority-led social investment wholesaler, is collaborating with open innovation organisation Do It Now Now (DiNN) to deliver the Make it Big with Pathway Fund.

The fund is an enterprise development programme supporting black and global majority-led charities and social enterprises to bridge the gap and deliver equitable outcomes for underserved populations locally and nationally.

The funding is for enterprise projects that are able to solve a problem experienced within Black and Global Majority communities in England as a result of the Cost of Living Crisis, while bringing in trading income for the organisation.

The funding is for projects with achievable outcomes within a 9-month timeframe that:

Address Real Issues: Target challenges like poverty alleviation and racial equity, driving meaningful change for Black and Global Majority communities.
Have Growth Potential: Use this funding to scale existing, income-generating projects that support sustainable financial growth.
Showcase Community Impact: Demonstrate a solid track record of community impact and engagement.

Guidance notes and an online expression of interest form are available from the DiNN website.
Application Support sessions and 1-2-1 support calls are available throughout the duration of the application process.
