JPMorgan Chase has provided a $1 million grant to support three New Orleans non-profit organizations focused on financial wellness.
The grant will help the Financial Wellness Collaborative, comprising Propeller, Thrive New Orleans, and Fund 17, offer tools and support to local small businesses.
The Collaborative plans to offer services such as financial coaching, credit counseling, and assistance with loan packages and accounting to aid entrepreneurs.
Former program recipient, Travis Williams of Nola Steele, praised the services provided, which helped his business organize operations and secure funding.
