JPMorgan Chase Foundation

Through the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, J.P. Morgan is committed to working in partnership with organisations in response to the deepening social need in the communities it serves. Globally, the Foundation provides over $100M in grants, on an annual basis, to over 7,500 grant partners in the focus areas of Community Development, Education and Arts & Culture. Through strategic partnerships with organisations across the region, we focus our investments towards the most vulnerable people and support sustainable programmes that have a clear and measurable impact. It is this approach that continues to drive our investment in high impact programmes across EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) with the provision of not only our financial capital, but also our human capital through the time and expertise of our employees.

J.P. Morgan has a long-standing history of supporting educational and community development initiatives. We view our involvement as not purely financial, but as a partnership, that contributes to the wellbeing of our communities in which we live and work. Through a donation from the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, the firm is partnering with the Teaching Leaders programme, which aims to strengthen the capacity of educators by growing a movement of outstanding middle leaders who improve the life chances of the children they teach.

Funding from J.P. Morgan will support the UK-wide expansion of the Teaching Leaders programme which addresses the gap in provision between Teach First and Future Leaders.
