Chase commitment to support small businesses and entrepreneurs
JPMorgan Chase continues to invest in its Small
Business Forward initiative which aims to help small businesses run
by women, minorities and veterans with both the capital and technical
assistance they need to grow.
Chase for Business shares research, resources and thought leadership
through local and national events, including the release of its annual Business
Leaders Outlook report and online Business
Resource Center.
Additionally, the firm recently announced the:
-
Creation of Advancing
Black Pathways (ABP) to build on the firm’s existing efforts
helping black Americans achieve economic success. In conjunction with
the launch of this initiative, JPMorgan Chase has also expanded the Entrepreneurs
of Color Fund to the Greater Washington region, providing capital
and business training to underserved minority entrepreneurs in the
region. To date, the program has provided more than $40 million in
funding and now operates in five regional markets. -
To support our returning service members, JPMorgan
Chase also recently announced additional support for Bunker
Labs, a nonprofit that helps active duty and veteran-owned
