Why Sponsors Create Social Impact with Pathways

Supporting women of color in business is not just a matter of diversity and inclusion; it's a fundamental step toward building a more equitable and prosperous society. When people of all races and genders actively become allies, they help break down systemic barriers that have historically impeded the progress of women of color entrepreneurs. By offering support, mentorship, and equal opportunities, allies contribute to a more vibrant and innovative entrepreneurial landscape. When women of color are empowered, their businesses thrive, creating jobs, fostering economic growth, and enriching communities.   

We invite you to take advantage of our unique sponsorship opportunities tailored specifically to every type of Pathways Partner. As a sponsor, your financial commitment directly supports BIWOC and enables Pathways to provide pre-summit activations, in-event experiences, and invaluable access to business tools, resources, and a community committed to advancing Business Owners and Entreprenurs.
