Chase Community Giving

https://www.facebook.com/ChaseCommunityGiving?sk=app_162065369655

 So far, Chase Community Giving has donated over $15 million to over 400 local charities. And we've only just begun.

In 2009, Chase decided to leverage the power of social media to crowd-source philanthropy—and let fans decide what matters. Since the inception of Chase Community Giving, over 400 charities in 39 states have shared over $15MM in donations from Chase. And we've committed to donating another $25MM over the next two years. But we can't do it without you. Fans like you have been voting for their favorite charities on Facebook, and helping decide which charities receive grants from Chase.

But Chase Community Giving is committed to helping charities through more than just providing grants. Last spring, we broadcasted a live online forum for charities to help them explore a few ways social media might be used to promote their cause and in hopes of making an even bigger difference.

This fall, Chase will donate another $3MM to 100 more small charities, and you can be a part of it. After you've voted for the American Giving Awards, click above to visit the Chase Giving tab to learn more. Voting opens again on November 8th.

Jai Lao Foundation

Jai Lao supports higher education for the descendants of Lao refugees living in the United States.  In March 2011, Jai Lao launched our first National Scholarship Program offering an aggregate of $6000 in total grants to six deserving students with a projected goal of increasing funds every year. 

Jai Lao's National Scholarship Program is aimed at helping students afford college as well as to encourage community involvement while staying connected to their Lao culture and heritage.  In a land of opportunities, we strive to give Lao Americans with a desire to give back to society an opportunity to succeed.

November 2, 2011, Jai Lao announced our second scholarship program for the 2012 academic school year.  Total scholarship awarded is an aggregate total of $10,000 to eight qualifying applicants; $2000 for the top two applicants and $1000 each to the remaining six applicants chosen.  Awards will be announced December 25, 2011!  For more information or to obtain an application, please click on the link below.
