Instead of spending money on branded pens, yo-yos and other branded promotional items you usually receive at campus events, we’re doing something more worthwhile. We’re donating the money we used to spend on corporate give-aways to a charity of your choice as part of our annual Give-It-Away campaign.

For the last three years, we’ve been doing things differently. We think there are better ways to invest our money. So we set up our global Give-it-Away program, which is part of J.P. Morgan's Good Venture philanthropic program. The good news is, we've seen other firms now take this approach on campus too. We're proud of this new trend we've helped to set.

Last year, we donated to a selection of charities across the globe – that money is already making a difference right now. It’s just one of the ways that we’re making a real difference in the world. But we need your help to do it.

The voting is competitive. And, the charities need your vote. When the votes are counted at the end of the school year, the charity with the most votes will receive the donation. You get the opportunity to help us do good. 

Voting begins on September 8, 2008.
