# JPMorganChase Funds Veteran Contracting Training

JPMorganChase announced **$1.75 million** in philanthropic support for Syracuse University’s D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families and the National Veteran Small Business Coalition. The programs are intended to help thousands of veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs grow businesses, access capital, and build skills to compete for federal contracts. The announcement describes program funding—not a government solicitation or contract award—so its procurement relevance is the development of potential small-business suppliers and their contracting capabilities.

- Veteran-owned and military spouse-led businesses may benefit from the programs’ business-growth, capital-access, and federal contracting support.
- Federal buyers and prime contractors may find a stronger pool of small-business suppliers as participants develop their ability to compete for government work.
- Small businesses should distinguish this philanthropic initiative from a direct procurement opportunity; the announcement does not specify an open solicitation, application deadline, or contract vehicle.
