2011 Corporate Responsibility Report - JPMorgan Chase

“JPMorgan Chase
provides valuable
training opportunities
for each of our
Warfighter classes,
contributing in a very
meaningful way to
the success of our
returning veterans.
With tremendous
support from partners
like JPMorgan
Chase, the Wall
Street Warfighters
Foundation continues
to gain momentum
with each class of
disabled veterans
we recruit, train and
place in the financial
services industry.”
Gen. Peter A. Pace, USA (Ret.),
Wall Street Warfighters
Foundation
VOLUNTEERING FOR MILITARY AND VETERANS
Many of our senior leaders and managers are
serving as mentors to transitioning servicemembers
through American Corporate Partners and the
Wall Street Warfighters Foundation.
We initiated a Pro Bono Veterans Assistance
Program to support nonprofits nationwide. In
2011, nearly 40 JPMorgan Chase employees
received training and provided legal assistance
to veteran clients to help them with benefit and
compensation-related issues.
Our military-related business resource group,
VETS (Voices for Employees That Served),
sponsors initiatives that include participating
in “Welcome Home Sponsors a Hero” at the
Dallas airport; hosting a housewarming for three
wounded veterans who were awarded homes in
Florida; and helping the city of Joplin, Missouri,
during clean-up efforts after the devastating
tornado. A New York Chapter member climbed
Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for veterans with
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In addition, VETS
members marched in Veterans Day parades across
the U.S.; helped build a Habitat for Humanity home
in Columbus, Ohio; and raised nearly $700,000 in
support of Poppy Day (Veterans Day) in London.
JPMorgan Chase was the national Mobilization
and Military Service Lead Sponsor for the 2011 9/11
National Day of Service and Remembrance. More
than 600 employees, along with their families and
friends, provided over 2,200 hours of volunteer
service in 23 projects across the U.S. during the
weekend of 9/11/11. With other corporations and
organizations, the firm also helped organize the
single largest day of charitable service
in the history of our country.
Among other activities,
volunteers, and their
families and friends, were
given the opportunity to
complete tribute cards in
honor of those who have served
since 9/11 to send to active duty
servicemembers, veterans
and their families. The cards,
distributed by Blue Star
Families, a leading national
charity working on behalf of
military families, collected
more than 3,000 handwritten
cards and online messages.
Throughout 2011, JPMorgan
Chase employees donated nearly 5,500
volunteer hours in their communities in support
of military and veterans.
