As JPMorgan Chase has evolved into one of the world's largest and most influential global financial institutions, our approach to philanthropic investment has also evolved. However, throughout this evolution and change, one thing has remained constant: our firm's unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in the communities where we operate.
JPMorgan Chase's philanthropic goal is simple - be the catalyst to meaningful, positive, and sustainable change within our highest need neighborhoods and communities across the globe. In 2008, JPMorgan Chase gave more than $100 million through grants and sponsorships to thousands of not-for-profit organizations around the world. We also support the individual interests of our employees through the Matching Gift and volunteer programs.
Community development - address issues related to poverty and social exclusion by building economic infrastructure, promoting self-sufficiency, and supporting efforts to narrow social inequities.
Education - ensure that all children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, have access to high quality educational opportunities with a particular focus on K-12 public schools that help them acquire the knowledge and skills needed to be productive, engaged citizens.
Arts & Culture - increase community access to rich cultural resources that foster creativity, promote self-expression, celebrate diversity, and strengthen our environment.
