Why Good Venture? To put it simply, doing good work makes good business sense. From volunteering our time to investing in microfinance, we're committed to doing the right thing. And that means giving you the opportunity to participate in our Good Venture philanthropic initiatives, even before you've joined us.

We support Good Venture as part of our wider commitment to direct action in the community. More and more people are getting the importance of volunteering. We know this is happening because we see it and celebrate it in our own people. We give substantial amounts to philanthropic causes, but some of our most effective community initiatives are inspired and led by J.P. Morgan people who simply want to make a difference.

As part of our Good Venture program, we offer our philanthropic Case Competition and our Give-It-Away campaign to help make a difference to those who need it most. Whether you're making a case to a panel of judges or voting for a non-profit organization online, you can help determine which good causes should receive part of a total $85,000 donation from J.P. Morgan.
