J.P. Morgan Private Bank Discusses Philanthropic Strategies for Veteran Support Amidst Evolving Nonprofit Landscape
J.P. Morgan Private Bank recently hosted a webcast focusing on strategic giving and community impact within the veteran nonprofit sector. Max Lane, head of the Private Bank's military and veteran Wealth Strategies team, moderated a discussion with Jim Lorraine, co-founder, President and CEO of America's Warrior Partnership, and Sarah Berg from the philanthropy center. The conversation highlighted the significant changes in the veteran support landscape over the past two decades, including a proliferation of nonprofits and a shift in the veteran population, with post-9/11 veterans now outnumbering those from the Vietnam era. While education, healthcare, and housing support for veterans have seen improvements, a major gap remains in the coordination of services. The speakers emphasized the importance of trust, transparency, and strategic partnerships between national and local organizations to effectively serve veterans, particularly the 8 million not enrolled in the VA system.
