https://www.jpmorganchase.com/ is accepting applications for its 2021 AdvancingCities Challenge.
The competition aims to catalyze cross-sector partnerships that create more equitable communities by addressing systemic barriers to opportunity, or the complex issues at the root of economic inequality, with a focus on altering entrenched policies and practices that negatively affect low- and moderate- income Black and/or Latinx women, their families, and local economies. Black and Latinx women are the backbone of many of America’s cities – as consumers, homeowners, entrepreneurs, business owners, and essential workers in critical sectors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, longstanding racial and gender wealth gaps, coupled with impacts from COVID-19, have exacerbated disparities for Black and Latinx women.
As part of the Challenge, JPMorgan Chase (JPMC) is accepting applications for up to $5 million over three years in support of innovative, sustainable solutions that drive wealth creation and economic success of Black and Latinx women. Proposals should address multidimensional, systemic challenges, leverage cross-sector leadership and collaboration, center the voice and lived experience of Black or Latinx women, and drive systems change at the local level.
