JPMC Entrepreneurs of Color Project

In 2019, PCV has expanded its job quality work and the reach of the GJGB toolkit to a national partnership with JPMorgan Chase (JPMC). The partnership includes three CDFIs: Detroit Development Fund, Pursuit, and Working Solutions, and it began in summer 2019. The toolkit will be rolled out at up to 60 small businesses with a final report delivered in June 2021. As of right now, all CDFIs plan to use PCV’s quality jobs business advising network to support their small businesses’ implementation of the GJGB toolkit.

Partnership Commitments

The GJGB partnership consists of the below key commitments to facilitate shared progress updates, feedback on the GJGB toolkit, and evaluation of how job quality changes or how your business has built back better from COVID-19 as a result of partnership activities. The small business owner has three opportunities to receive an up-to-$1000 incentive throughout the partnership; the incentive is broken into three disbursements outlined in this table ($500, $150, and $350). Below the table, we have included the partnership guide containing additional details.
