Chase Commits $25 Million to Charities Through Chase Community Giving Program over Next Two Years | Business Wire: "NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chase announced today an additional two-year, $25-million commitment to the Chase Community Giving philanthropic program on Facebook. The popular program has already awarded $10 million to 300 small and local charities in 38 states, and Washington, D.C., since 2009.

“We've learned that the social media outreach process is extremely valuable – even for the charities that haven't finished among the winners”

Since its inception, Chase Community Giving has attracted more than 2.4 million fans that determined the winners from more than 500,000 participating charities nationwide. Chase is currently preparing for its Spring 2011 program, which will begin online Monday, April 4, and will focus on local charities with annual operating expenses from $1 million to $10 million. Plans are also underway for another program later this year geared toward smaller, more local charities."
