Social Enterprise Micro-Finance Program

As part of our commitment to social justice and community, Powerful Pathways is offering 0% interest micro-loans and mini grants social impact organizations and small businesses. During the pandemic, we pivotted and provided mini grants to struggling artist members of Boston's Black and Brown Creatives.

Powerful Talks & Civic Hacks

Occasionally we organize public events and workshops on urban topics, urban development, cultural and historical walking tours, and “civic hacks”– events that disrupt normative thinking and approaches to social challenges and urban issues.
