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
  startups. As Bunker Labs continues to inspire veterans to start their
  own businesses, JPMorgan Chase’s new $3 million commitment supports
  the organization’s national expansion and provides the necessary
  education, resources and networks to veteran
  entrepreneurs.
