Chase Community Giving Kicks Off Summer 2010 Program

NEW YORK, June 9, 2010 - Chase announced today it has kicked off its Chase Community Giving Summer 2010 program on the Facebook® platform. The program will award more than $5 million to be shared among 200 charities with grants ranging from $20,000 to $250,000. Participants can begin voting for their favorite charities June 15.

The first Chase Community Giving program, held earlier this year, was the most popular corporate philanthropy crowdsourcing campaign of its type. More than 2 million users on the Facebook platform became fans of the program and helped decide which, of more than 500,000 charities, should receive a share of $5 million. More than 100 winners from 31 states were selected. Chase Community Giving is back again - and improved. The number of charities eligible to receive awards has doubled and several new tools have been introduced.
