JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) announced today its Foundation is providing $1.4 million in grants to leading nonprofits that promote the financial capability of consumers in cities across the U.S. These grants are part of the firm’s ongoing effort to identify, evaluate, and scale innovations that provide individuals both the tools and resources to promote lasting, positive changes in financial behavior.

Thanks to the work of Mission Asset Fund, CFED, and Greenlining, low- and moderate-income families will gain access to credit and begin building their household balance sheet. JPMorgan Chase is excited to partner with these dynamic organizations to help more people in underserved communities improve their financial stability and economic opportunity,” said Janis Bowdler, Senior Program Director for Financial Capability and Affordable Housing, JPMorgan Chase Foundation.
