#FBF Earlier this year, JPMorganChase committed a $500,000 grant to OIC of South Florida and the Urban League of Broward County to expand vocational skills training for underserved communities. Aligning with the company’s Advancing Black Pathways initiative, the funding aims to empower and uplift historically underserved and under-resourced communities in South Florida. The grant was presented during the OIC Summit last week. Thank you, JPMorgan Chase! Together, we are cultivating greater opportunities for our families.
