Project: Delivering finance to black-led organisations through new means

Grant: £60,000

This programme will integrate black-led organisations into the social investment ecosystem and create a new model of funding with partners that will allow the programme to champion the sustainability of black-led charities and social enterprises. Do it Now Now will support grant recipients in pursuing social investments from established social investors, whilst seeking social investors who will ring-fence funding within existing endowments. This will also include facilitating appropriate business skills support, and visibility, whilst improving the understanding and awareness of black-led organisations among investors.

The programme will help to ensure funding is suited to the needs of black-led charities and social enterprises and this model will support black-led organisations through a tier-led approach first with grant, then capacity building with the ultimate goal of ensuring social investment within a funder that has a ring-fenced amount.
