GIVING
Community support, improving the environment, and volunteerism are central to JPMorgan Chase’s philanthropy, at the corporate level and through its foundation.

The following capabilities support JPMorgan Chase’s interaction with communities and guide the company’s efforts to be a responsible corporate citizen:
• Community Development Group.
• Giving, including grants and sponsorship programs and employee giving programs.
• Office of Environmental Affairs.

The Community Development Group strengthens communities in which JPMorgan Chase & Co. does business by expanding access to capital, offering leadership, and leveraging the many resources of JPMorgan Chase.

Central to this mission, the Community Development Group serves:
• Low- and moderate-income communities.
• Small businesses.
• Low-to-moderate-income individuals and families.

JPMorgan Chase also provides philanthropic support to nonprofit organizations located in the communities the company serves.

In 2006, JPMorgan Chase plans to give more than $100 million through grants and sponsorships to thousands of nonprofit organizations around the world. The firm also supports the individual interests of its employees through the Matching Gift program and offers opportunities to give back to the communities they serve through a range of volunteerism activities initiated by colleagues supporting the company’s local, regional or national markets across the world:
• Community asset development — encourage, sustain and develop economic self-reliance.
• Youth education — help young people succeed in life and work.
• Community life — enrich communities with sponsor- ships and events focused on arts and culture.

In terms of support, JPMorgan Chase focuses its funding on the following nonprofits and programs:
• Organizations that focus upon capacity building, advocacy, technical assistance and financial support to the broad arts and cultural community.
• Arts exhibitions and performances that enhance the quality of life in the communities they serve, with emphasis on programming that addresses cultural enrichment and issues related to diversity.
• Programs that promote ecologically sound practices and environmental conservation.
• Organizations that focus on emerging or underrepresented artists to foster the creation of new work.

JPMorgan Chase employees demonstrate their commitment to giving back to their local communities by contributing their time, talent and financial resources to nonprofit organizations and blood donations. The company encourages employee giving in a myriad of ways as part of its continuous efforts to reinforce the value of supporting communities.

Employee giving at JPMorgan Chase encompasses a range of activities:
• Matching gift and volunteer grant programs help fund the nonprofit organizations that employees support around the world, both financially and through volunteer activities.
• In the United States, formal workplace campaigns are organized to increase participation in blood drives and bone marrow registration initiatives, to encourage donations to the United Negro College Fund and to support health and human services agencies by designating funds to local United Way or qualified nonprofit organizations.
• Mentoring programs in the United States and the United Kingdom allow employees to support the educational growth of hundreds of young people.

The JP Morgan Chase Foundation Matching Gift Program gives employees and retirees a voice in the direction of the company’s philanthropic dollars. The company has along- standing commitment to encourage and stimulate giving by matching contributions to nonprofit organizations.
