26 CHASE COMMUNITY GIVING “You Decide What Matters.” We are turning the traditional model of philanthropy on its head and putting the power of social networks to work. In 2009, we launched Chase Community Giving (CCG) — a social media platform that gives people the chance to help us decide how to allocate our dollars. Since inception, over $18 million in donations have been granted to over 500 participating charities in 41 States, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. In March 2011, we increased our commitment to donate $25 million over the next two years through CCG. The success of the program is powered by more than 3.3 million fans on Facebook. Today, millions of Facebook members are making their voices heard and making our philanthropy more effective. GRANT RECIPIENTS: HIGHLIGHTS Crisis Ministries, the largest homeless service provider in South Carolina, provides food, shelter and hope to end homelessness and hunger one person at a time, one family at a time. CCG funding allowed Crisis Ministries to jumpstart the construction of a new 40-bed dormitory for homeless veterans, a soup kitchen and counseling space. JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. Global Kids, a nonprofit educational organization, works to give urban kids the knowledge, skills, experiences and values they need to succeed. The $200,000 CCG grant enabled Global Kids to expand to reach even more students. Architecture for Humanity is a nonprofit design services firm that helps build a more sustainable future by bringing design, construction and development services where they are most critically needed with the help of more than 50,000 building professionals who donate their time. CCG funding enabled Architecture for Humanity to expand its Open Architecture Network, an online knowledge-sharing platform that will help create lasting change. THE AMERICAN GIVING AWARDS In December 2011, The American Giving Awards presented by Chase, was our firstever celebrity tribute to community heroes, offering five charities an opportunity to share $2 million in grants so they can continue their work helping others. NBC’s broadcast of the American Giving Awards was hosted by Bob Costas and featured will.i.am, LeAnn Rimes, Rodney Atkins and Taio Cruz. Online voters were given the opportunity to select their favorite charity from each of five categories: Educators & Mentors, Champions of Health & Wellness, Community Builders, Youth Developers and Heroes & Leaders. Winners included: To Write Love on Her Arms of Melbourne, Florida, was awarded a $1 million grant. The charity is dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. Four additional finalists split another $1 million in grants — Let’s Get Ready, New York, NY; Matthew Shepard Foundation, Casper, WY; Wish Upon a Hero Foundation, Moorestown, NJ; and Move for Hunger, Neptune, NJ. CORPORATE CHALLENGE JPMorgan Chase owns and operates the Corporate Challenge, the world’s largest corporate running series. The Corporate Challenge brings together companies and their employees worldwide to engage in healthy competition, camaraderie and teamwork. It provides an opportunity for people from all industries and job functions to build morale and give back to their communities together. We also provide a donation at each Corporate Challenge to a local nonprofit that aims to improve the lives of people in underserved communities. In 2011, more than 250,000 people participated in Corporate Challenge events in 13 cities in seven countries on five continents, and more than $650,000 went to charities in host cities.
IN 2011, THE CORPORATE CHALLENGE SERIES SUPPORTED THE FOLLOWING CHARITIES: !Football United! Sydney LEAP Science and Maths Schools Johannesburg Asian Civilisations Museum and MILK: Mainly I Love Kids Singapore Greater Chicago Food Depository Chicago The German Sports Aid Foundation Frankfurt Child Care Council, Inc. Rochester Right To Play Shanghai Emerald Necklace Conservancy and Horizons for Homeless Children Boston Child Care Resource Network Buffalo Central Park Conservancy New York City Barnardo’s London Child Care Solutions Syracuse Larkin Street Youth Services San Francisco COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERISM Soaringwords Each year, more than 22 million children in the United States suffer from chronic and serious illness, leaving many of them bedridden. The nonprofit organization Soaringwords is helping to make longterm hospital stays more comfortable for young patients by donating colorful quilts and pillows hand-decorated with cheerful messages and artwork. JPMorgan Chase employees volunteered in 10 markets around the U.S. to help brighten the days of children with serious illnesses — and decorated a total of 1,554 quilts and pillows, including an effort among 112 Chase branches in New Jersey to create 500 blankets for children in a two-week period. Walks for Health In 2011, over 5,850 JPMorgan Chase employees participated in more than 200 walks, runs and other events that raised awareness and funds for charities across the nation. Our employees gave 23,706 hours of service to walks benefiting breast cancer, AIDS, leukemia, lymphoma, premature birth, and many other important organizations and causes. Food Banks Employees in several markets coordinated food drives and onsite food-sorting events at local food banks. Volunteer events supporting local food banks took place in California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas and Utah. These events complemented JPMorgan Chase’s support of Feeding America and its fight against hunger. Tower Hamlets In 2011, 100 employees in London donated 400 hours by volunteering with the Tower Hamlets Food Bank, a charity that works to empower local communities to combat poverty and exclusion in the U.K. and other locations in Europe. As part of this event, employee volunteers assisted the Food Bank’s supermarket collection, working to collect, sort and transport food to the charity’s distribution centers in East London. In addition to collecting 240 crates of food weighing 2,436 kg, volunteers also purchased an additional 408 kg of food to donate. In total, 2,572 kg of food was collected, enough to provide approximately 5,700 meals to those in need. See Helping Our People Succeed for more information on our employee volunteerism. 2011 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY REPORT 27
