Pathways to Economic Opportunities
JPMorganChase has supported The London Community Foundation since November 2020 on a £2 million Pathways to Economic Opportunities Programme (P2E), delivered with Action for Race Equality and The Ubele Initiative.
The programme supported Black and Minoritised ethnic-led ‘by and for’ organisations providing employment, enterprise and financial health (EEFH) support in the Capital. It aimed to demonstrate the importance of community and infrastructure organisations in addressing inequalities, creating new opportunities post-COVID and helping to remove barriers to economic opportunity in London. Ultimately, it was a platform for sharing expertise, insights and learning.
The overall objective of P2E was to contribute to building equity, inclusion and resilience within the charitable sector and improve economic outcomes for Black and Minoritised communities facing racial and economic inequities.
