FINANCIAL HEALTH RESOURCES FOR HBCU STUDENTS
In 2021, we launched a program to deliver financial health resources to HBCU students across the U.S. The program – called #BackToTheYard presented by Chase – is one part of our broader Firmwide strategy to help close the racial wealth gap by investing in the success of HBCU students and the institutional capacity of HBCUs. Delivered through our Advancing Black Pathways initiative and initially launched at seven partner HBCUs, the program is designed to empower HBCU students to take charge of their financial health through education on topics such as budgeting, credit use and managing student expenses. We are also making available for all HBCUs a curated set of web-based resources on financial health and other topics. Our aim is to deliver financial health education to 10,000 HBCU students annually. In addition, our Firm has committed $1 million annually over five years to the Student Financial Hardship Fund. The money will be distributed by the United Negro College Fund and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to students at HBCUs that need aid to stay in school. We know that supporting students with emergency funds – to buy books, pay a security deposit or medical bill, address short-term food insecurity or meet other needs – helps them to continue their studies and graduate, which makes a profound impact on their long-term economic success. INVESTMENTS IN COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS As part of a five-year, $125 million commitment to improving financial health in underserved communities, JPMorgan Chase is working closely with community organizations to address the unique financial needs of people who too often get left behind, including low-income women, immigrants, people of color and the aging. In 2021, for example, our Firm provided a $3 million low-cost loan to Capital Good Fund, a non-profit CDFI with a mission to create pathways out of poverty and advance a green economy through inclusive financial services. Capital Good Fund offers consumer loans as well as personalized financial and health coaching to families across multiple states. Capital Good Fund issues loans for emergencies, immigration expenses, energy efficiency upgrades, residential solar installations and other personal expenses. Our loan will support Capital Good Fund's origination of consumer loans to low-to-moderate income households. Download 6.87 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
