‘It’s important that the Forbes Family Group plays its role in supporting and serving those communities and entrepreneurs with similar backgrounds and aspirations to me and Dean. We know how hard it is to make an idea work over the long term and we want to put our expertise, network and capital to work to help those entrepreneurs and positive causes’ said Danielle Forbes, CEO of the Forbes Family Group.

projects that are aimed at addressing the lack of social mobility for working class people in underprivileged areas. The fund already has over 60 opportunities that it is considering and expects to announce its first deals in the coming weeks.
