printBelow is a small sample of the many philanthropic organizations and causes JPMorgan supports. Our ongoing engagement in these efforts enriches our culture as well as the experience for our employees.
CIDA: CIDA City Campus, the first 'virtually free' university in Africa, offers a 4-year Bachelor of Business Administration Degree to disadvantaged, young South Africans who are unable to afford higher education.
Global Fund for Women: The Global Fund for Women was three years old when, in 1990, it first received a grant of $10,000 from the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company, a subsidiary of JPMorgan. The Global Fund has grown to the largest fund for women's rights in the world, providing nearly $7.8 million in grants annually to almost 600 women’s groups worldwide.
Hugh Paton Bursary, Robinson College, Cambridge, England: JPMorgan funds bursaries to second year female students studying at Robinson College who demonstrate financial need, contributions to the campus environment and attention to academic studies.
INROADS: For over 30 years, INROADS has helped businesses gain greater access to diverse talent through continuous leadership development of outstanding, ethnically diverse students and placement of those students in internships at many of North America's top corporations and organizations. JPMorgan is a proud INROADS corporate client.
JPMorgan Fellows: The JPMorgan Fellows Program was established in 1996 to promote diversity in graduate business schools and in the Investment Bank. The Program provides half-tuition scholarships and internships for up to 10 first-year MBA students at five of the United States’ top graduate business schools. The applicants are African American, Latino and Native American students.
JPMorgan Gifted & Talented Program: A program enabling young women to find out first-hand about the career opportunities within an investment bank, while at the same time helping to demystify investment banking and address concerns about choosing banking as a career.
JPMorgan School Mentoring Program: A mentoring program for gifted and talented young people from African/Caribbean backgrounds in London, it provides reading and math assistance to primary aged children, while the high school program pairs older students with JPMorgan mentors for two years. New programs include:
- JPMorgan GAP Go-Global Challenge – gives bursaries to financially disadvantaged students to give them the opportunity of taking a gap year before university;
- Into University – offers a support network and a mentoring program to academically capable students to assist their path to university;
- JPMorgan Gifted & Talented Program for Girls – enables young women to find out first-hand about the career opportunities within an investment bank.
JPMorgan Chase UNCF Scholars Program: This companywide program is dedicated to finding undergraduate students who have a commitment to diversity. Applicants must have a commitment to diversity, high academic achievement and demonstrate leadership qualities. Each year, 20 students are selected to join the program, and each receives up to a $10,000 scholarship, in addition to a summer internship.
Robert Toigo Foundation: JPMorgan was a founding sponsor of the Toigo Foundation in 1989. The Foundation is dedicated to increasing the number of people of color in the wholesale financial services industry. It provides financial assistance, mentoring and summer internships and job placement services to the top minority candidates in business schools.
Sponsors for Educational Opportunity: In the U.S., the U.K. and Asia, JPMorgan works with SEO to place outstanding students of color in summer intern positions at the firm. Through its career program, SEO introduces talented undergraduates to the financial services industry and provides the opportunity to explore challenging and rewarding careers.
