Meet the Funder - Common Call grants for black-led charities and social enterprises

Macc in partnership with Do It Now Now is hosting a Meet the Funder Event specifically aimed at Black-led charities and social enterprises.

Do it Now Now is delighted to have received funding from Comic Reliefs Global Majority Fund to provide, through our Common Call grant fund, financial support to Black-led charities and social enterprises disproportionately impacted by Covid-19 in the UK.

The £300,000 fund includes contributions from Barclays, National Emergencies Trust, Esmess Fairbairn Foundation, The Clothworkers' Foundation and Comic Relief. 

This fund is for UK based organisations led by people that identify as Black or Mixed with Black. The people you support should primarily be people that identify as Black or Mixed with Black.

Who can apply?

UK- based Black-led charities and social enterprises working in communities across the UK will be able to apply for unrestricted grants of £5,000 or £12,500 to help them:

• Get better informed about their options (moving to new methods of delivery post Covid-19)
• Develop new enterprising activities and earned income strategies 
• Test the viability of specific propositions 
• Develop clear implementable action plans for such activity

Deadline for the fund - 5pm, June 25th

Grant Manager, Temi Pratt, will be running through the application and process in detail and there will be opportunities for participants to ask questions about the fund.

This event will be delivered by Zoom - please ensure that you book a place to enable the Zoom code to be forwarded to you one day before the event.
