providing finance to businesses creating<br />

positive impact in their communities.<br />

Rather than simply allocating <strong>our</strong> own<br />

capital, the goal is to enc<strong>our</strong>age broader<br />

investment from a diverse group of<br />

investors that might otherwise not have<br />

invested. With this goal in mind, we have<br />

also built a market-leading analytical<br />

research franchise to benefit <strong>our</strong> clients and<br />

others interested in this market.<br />

Impact Investment Case Study<br />

Through J.P. Morgan’s investment in<br />

LeapFrog Financial Inclusion Fund, we<br />

are investing in an insurance company in<br />

South Africa called AllLife, which provides<br />

comprehensive life insurance coverage<br />

exclusively to people living with HIV and<br />

AIDS. The company links its insurance<br />

products to an adherence management<br />

program, which requires that clients<br />

manage their healthcare, routinely alerting<br />

them to potential health concerns and<br />

helping them take action to maintain their<br />

well-being. Clients experience an average<br />

15% improvement in health just from having<br />

an AllLife insurance policy. AllLife is on<br />

track to deliver insurance to more than<br />

50,000 individuals in the next few years.<br />

GIVING tO OUR<br />

cOMMUNItIES<br />

<strong>JPMorgan</strong> <strong>Chase</strong> focuses <strong>our</strong> investment and<br />

attention toward specific neighborhoods in<br />

cities where we have major operations. These<br />

neighborhoods are typically among the most<br />

challenged areas of major urban centers,<br />

defined by high rates of poverty and historic<br />

disinvestment. We work to lead a renaissance<br />

in the neighborhood by engaging the<br />

nonprofit organizations, neighborhood<br />

residents, and other s<strong>our</strong>ces of public and<br />

private advocacy and funding.<br />

Weinland Park – Columbus, OH<br />

In 2011, <strong>JPMorgan</strong> <strong>Chase</strong> continued its<br />

investment in Weinland Park with nearly<br />

$2 million in a holistic approach<br />

new york city police Foundation<br />

We are helping to strengthen security in the Big Apple<br />

through a <strong>part</strong>nership with the New York City Police<br />

De<strong>part</strong>ment — the world’s largest police de<strong>part</strong>ment.<br />

Valued at over $4.6 million, <strong>our</strong> donation of technology,<br />

time and skills to improve the NYPD’s technology<br />

infrastructure was the largest in the history of the New<br />

York City Police Foundation. Through <strong>our</strong> Technology<br />

for Social Good program, we donated 1,000 personal<br />

computers across the police de<strong>part</strong>ment, 2,000 new<br />

to revitalizing and stabilizing the<br />

neighborhood. Since 2007, we have<br />

invested more than $7 million in programs<br />

to address affordable housing needs and<br />

support new development for current and<br />

future residents of the neighborhood. We<br />

helped acquire and rehabilitate vacant<br />

and abandoned properties, provided<br />

forgivable loans for home repairs, invested<br />

in educational and vocational training<br />

programs, and taught financial literacy<br />

classes. In addition, more than 800 of <strong>our</strong><br />

employees volunteered more than 5,000<br />

h<strong>our</strong>s to build homes in Weinland Park<br />

with Habitat for Humanity.<br />

patrol car laptops, and provided funding to ensure that all<br />

of the equipment was properly installed and functioning.<br />

We also donated funding for critical programming of incar<br />

Cisco mobile access routers and the implementation<br />

of structured network cabling across 76 locations and 29<br />

police precincts. This <strong>part</strong>nership allowed us to develop<br />

the expertise to replicate similar projects within the public<br />

and social sectors.
