Brother Hixon,
Thank you for reaching out and for your thoughtful note. I appreciate you taking the time to review the opportunity and for the work you continue to do in the area of financial education and community-based programming.
At this time, the JP Morgan Chase Community Workshops & Regional Activation opportunity is structured specifically for engagement through our Regions and the General Organization, in alignment with our internal partnership protocols and sponsor agreements. As such, direct participation by individual businesses or organizations is not currently available under this initiative.
That said, should an opportunity arise in the future where JP Morgan Chase expresses interest in working directly with individual businesses or nonprofit entities, our General Office would be sure to share that information broadly with the Brotherhood.
Thank you again for your interest, your continued service, and your understanding. I appreciate your commitment to advancing financial literacy and economic empowerment in our communities.
Fraternally,
Brother Gerald Johnson II

Brother Gerald K. Johnson II, Ph.D.,
Thank you for sharing this important sponsorship opportunity. The JP Morgan Chase Community Workshops & Regional Activation aligns well with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.'s longstanding commitment to economic empowerment, wealth-building, and financial literacy within our communities.
I am Brother Orlando Xavier Hixon. I currently design and deliver financial education and community-based workshops across several states. This work was previously supported through a grant under the prior administration; however, that funding has ended, and I am now self-funding to ensure the programming continues where the need remains strong.
As I reviewed the opportunity, I noted that participation is structured at the regional level. At this time, I am not formally partnered with a region. I respectfully wanted to inquire whether there is flexibility for a qualified company or nonprofit partner with an established record of financial education delivery to participate directly, or whether formal regional alignment is required.
I would welcome the opportunity to explore a pathway that remains fully compliant with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.® protocols while expanding reach and impact in communities already being served.
Thank you for your leadership and stewardship of this initiative. I look forward to your guidance on next steps.
