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.
