JPMorgan Chase Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a charity without an invitation should not send it a proposal cold; the practical first step is to find a route to an invitation through an existing contact.
- Its focus areas are jobs and skills, small business, neighbourhood development and financial health, and its stated geographic priority is around the world, so check your work against these before writing.
- If an invitation is possible, its typical grants fall between $100 and $5,000 and its median grant is $520, so a modest request is the realistic size, though its largest grant was about $4,650,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
- The filing shows that 79% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups the foundation had also funded in earlier filings, so repeat relationships appear to matter a great deal.
