The purpose of becoming a fan of Chase Community Giving is to allow administrators to track participant votes and to allow participants to comment on the charities they vote for. We hope that participants will use the fan page to create awareness about the opportunity for charities to receive donations totaling millions of dollars from Chase’s philanthropy fund. It has no direct tie to Chase mail or email campaigns.
