The latest round of J.P. Morgan Chase’s “Chase Community Giving” grant campaign is live on Facebook, and several of Drum Corps International’s corps are once again in the running.
The Fall 2011 edition of the program is open to non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations that have operating expenses of less than $1 million. Actively participating and promoting their involvement from DCI’s ranks are the Academy, Blue Knights, Cascades, Colts, Crossmen, Genesis, Legends, Oregon Crusaders, Pioneer, Raiders and Velvet Knights.
The top 100 charities as determined by those who “like” the Chase Community Giving page on Facebook and vote, have the chance to share in $3 million worth of grants. The top vote getter will receive $250,000, the next four runners up will receive $100,000 and the remaining will receive $25,000 each to use toward furthering their worthy causes.
Voting runs for a limited time only until Tuesday, Nov. 22. Winners are expected to be announced coming into the Thanksgiving holiday.
