Micro-Investment Fund
Founded at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and named in honor of Kathryn's grandmother, the Doonie Fund distributed $250K in micro-investments directly to Black women entrepreneurs whose businesses were threatened by the shutdown. The fund's deployments contributed an estimated $8.3M to local economies, demonstrating how small, fast capital placed in the right hands compounds into meaningful community impact.
