  Campaign:  [The Promise of Skills-Based Volunteering ](/news/campaign/promise-skills-based-volunteering)  ![](/sites/default/files/styles/carousel_2x/public/images/StartOut_Pride.jpg) 

Early this year, LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurship nonprofit [StartOut](https://startout.org/) and [JPMorgan Chase](https://www.jpmorganchase.com/) began a three-month [virtual volunteering project](https://commonimpact.org/pdf/StartOut_JPMorgan_Chase_Pride_Case_Study.pdf) to develop a strategy for the decade-old organization’s new expansion efforts. The JPMorgan Chase [Virtual Service Corps](https://institute.jpmorganchase.com/impact/people/mentoring-skilled-volunteerism/the-service-corps) team, which included members of the company’s Pride Employee Resource Group, evaluated potential locations and identified the top cities for StartOut to prioritize for expansion, taking into account local small business success rates, social and political environments and the impact of the then emerging COVID-19 pandemic.

Access the full [case study](https://commonimpact.org/pdf/StartOut_JPMorgan_Chase_Pride_Case_Study.pdf) to learn more about how the JPMorgan Chase skilled volunteer team collaborated with StartOut to increase its capacity to set up emerging LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs for success.

This partnership was facilitated by skills-based volunteering nonprofit [Common Impact](https://commonimpact.org).
