Spotlight

Dedicated to Growing Local Businesses

Architect Deon Lucas was the first recipient of an entrepreneurship fund developed by JPMorgan Chase and other investors. He used the capital to create E.G. Woode, a brick-and-mortar space for micro-entrepreneurs in Englewood. And he’s just one of hundreds of business owners the fund has supported since it opened.

A Vital Investment for Auburn Gresham

Chicago’s South Side has a shortage of health care options. But in 2022, the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation opened the Healthy Lifestyle Hub—funded in part by a $14.5 million investment from JPMorgan Chase. The hub brought medical facilities, fresh food and a pharmacy to the area, treating nearly 20,000 patients in its first year.

Expanding Employment Opportunities

HIRE360 connects high school students and recent graduates to union-wage careers in over 30 skilled trades. JPMorgan Chase has provided $1.85 million in support for HIRE360 over the years, allowing the organization to enhance its mentorship programs and improve access to capital for women and minority entrepreneurs.
