SYRACUSE, N.Y. — JPMorgan Chase & Co. will provide an additional $13.8 million through 2020 to fund Syracuse University’s (SU) Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF).
JPMorgan Chase remains the institute’s largest corporate contributor, the school said in a news release issued Monday.
JPMorgan co-founded the IVMF at SU five years ago.
The institute works to help advance the post-service lives of U.S. service members, veterans, and their families.
“Partnering with Syracuse University to create the IVMF was a natural extension of our firm’s long history of support to military service members, veterans, and their families that extends back to World War I,” Matt Zames, COO of JPMorgan Chase, said in the SU release. “The past five years have seen improvements across the board in how our nation understands and supports veterans and military families, in no small way due to the work of the IVMF. Our continued collaboration will build on that growth and introduce new research and programs around employment, small business, and financial capability for veterans and their families.”
Zames and veterans from the firm took part in a presentation ceremony with Mike Haynie, Syracuse University’s vice chancellor for veteran and military affairs, during last Saturday’s home basketball game against North Carolina State. Haynie also serves as IVMF executive director.
“Thanks to the support of our founding partner [JPMorgan Chase], the IVMF was created nearly five years ago as more than simply a “think tank” … but as an ‘action tank’ focused on building from state-of-the-art research and policy, to … design and deliver state-of-the-art programming and training to the nation’s veterans and their families,” said Haynie. “With [JPMorgan Chase’s] ongoing support, I am confident that our partnership will enable us to continue to serve those who have served, much like we did in 2015, assisting more than 32,000 transitioning service members, veterans and their families.”
