Reflecting on our $150 Million Investment in Detroit

Five years ago in Detroit, JPMorgan Chase set out to test a new model for how businesses can play a more significant role in improving the lives of people in the communities they serve. Our strategy was to focus on key drivers of inclusive growth where we could directly leverage our core business expertise, making data-driven investments where we could have the most impact.

Detroit’s recovery outpaced expectations, and the city’s economic progress has motivated us to do more. We’re applying the lessons learned from our investments in Detroit to cities around the world, including Chicago, the Greater Washington Region and Greater Paris, through AdvancingCities.

Today, as we expand our commitment, we are so proud to be a part of Detroit's future.

Fueling Opportunity for More Detroiters
We are pleased to share that JPMorgan Chase has exceeded its $150 million commitment to Detroit’s recovery, and will expand our investment to reach $200 million by the end of 2022. This continued commitment will expand on our initial progress and focus on increasing economic opportunity for long-term Detroiters – especially black families. Our investment in Detroit will help the system work for more people – giving more Detroiters access to the tools they need to succeed, stay and benefit from Detroit’s continued recovery.
