IMPACT AZ 2025 is an action-focused program that includes a physical space to assist business owners with resources to promote stability and growth and business development for supplier diversity opportunities. It features procurement access, mentorship and networking opportunities, training in accounting and finance, access to public and private partnerships, and more. According to a recent report, supplier diversity programs could add $280 billion in income and four million new jobs to the U.S. economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cJPMorgan Chase is profoundly committed to supporting programs that help close the racial wealth gap and uplifting our Black business and entrepreneurial community is key to achieving that goal,\u201d said Ashley Kelly, Senior Business Consultant for Chase in Arizona. \u201cThis program will deliver expertise and support to help participants scale and grow their businesses in a sustainable manner. I\u2019m very excited about supporting this collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

IMPACT 2025, a direct response to the 2022 State of Black Business report released by the State of Black Arizona, is accepting corporate support to ensure the program is no-cost for cohort participants. The report shared that more than half of Black business owners in Arizona face a lack of access to capital driven by low levels of personal wealth, creditworthiness disparities and low loan request rates.<\/p>\n

\u200b\u201cI was born into poverty and had to bootstrap my business and learn how to grow and succeed. A decade later, I have built a national brand and am privileged to share everything I learned to help others do the same,\u201d said Dr. Velma Trayham, founder of the Millionaire Mastermind Academy. \u201cI credit hard\u00a0work, faith, and having access to procurement opportunities for my ability to rise above poverty.\u00a0I am thrilled and honored to support the Arizona business community and have supporters like JPMorgan Chase who understand the deep need for such work.\u201d<\/p>\n
