Jpmorgan Chase Foundation

About Jpmorgan Chase Foundation

Jpmorgan Chase Foundation’s recent grantmaking is defined by large, programmatic support for economic opportunity. The biggest grants in the latest list point to that pattern: $3.3 million to Pidc Community Capital for underserved small business expansion, $2.89 million to Commit2dallas for economic mobility and career pathways, and $2.5 million to Inclusive Action for the City for financial health. Across the portfolio, the foundation backs organizations that help small business owners, workers, and households move through connected systems of lending, workforce training, and neighborhood investment. The foundation also shows a strong preference for established intermediaries and city-scale partners. Grants to The Aspen Institute Inc, The Urban Institute, and Local Initiatives Support Corporation suggest support for research, convening, and place-based implementation rather than only direct service. In the community development area, awards to Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, Enterprise Community Partners Inc, and The Resurrection Project reflect attention to neighborhood revitalization and local economic conditions. Nationally scoped giving is paired with selective international support, including grants to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and Give2asia.

What Jpmorgan Chase Foundation Funds

Underserved small business support appears repeatedly in the recent list. JPMorgan Chase Foundation gave $3.3 million to Pidc Community Capital for underserved small business expansion, and $1.9 million to Neighborhood Housing Services of South Florida Inc for the same purpose. The pattern is reinforced by a $4.6 million grant to LiftFund to create the LiftUP loan program for minority- and women-owned small businesses in Dallas, Houston, and Austin. Financial health is another clear thread. The foundation gave $2.5 million to Inclusive Action for the City in Los Angeles for financial health, $2.39 million to The Aspen Institute Inc for financial health, and $1.75 million to Impact Charitable for the same area. Neighborhood revitalization also receives substantial support. Recent grants include $2.4 million to Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, $2.22 million to The Resurrection Project in Chicago, and $1.7 million to Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development in Washington, D.C., all tied to revitalization work.
