It offers concrete steps to shift how Black-led orgs are valued and funded. 📘 This report is both diagnosis and prescription. 👉 Access it here https://lnkd.in/eZnBCpDY 📌 DiNN exists to build the infrastructure that shows funders what’s possible — and supports Black leaders while doing it. 🏷️ #BeyondTheCliffEdge #BlackLedOrgs #DoItNowNow #CapacityBuilding #LeadershipSupport

🚀 What would business policy look like if it were built with Black-led social enterprises in mind? Right now, many government policies fail to reflect the reality of running a Black-led impact organisation. ✔️ Funding is inaccessible ✔️ Bureaucracy slows progress ✔️ Equity is an afterthought, not a priority At Do it Now Now, we know that policy has the power to unlock change—but only if it actually reflects the lived experiences of Black-led organisations. 💡 Our latest blog explores why policymakers must evolve their approach to truly support Black-led enterprises and drive lasting impact. 💬 If you could change one thing about how policy supports Black social enterprises, what would it be? Let’s brainstorm below! 👇 https://lnkd.in/eujNzhJU

At Do it Now Now, we believe in amplifying and supporting the leaders who are reshaping our cities and communities. 💡 Our latest blog highlights the Black-led organisations making an impact—and how we can all contribute to their success. 💬 Who’s making a difference in your community?

Drop your thoughts below! How do you balance ambition and self-care? 👇 https://lnkd.in/eM7fnXiu
