On October 17, 2024, the Center for Nonprofit Advancement hosted the Chief Executive Leaders Ascend Program (CELAP) 2.0 Kickoff Ceremony at the JPMorgan Chase Headquarters in Washington, DC. The event welcomed a new cohort of eight Black women nonprofit leaders, furthering the program’s mission to provide grantmaking, capacity building, and wellness support.
Building on the success of the inaugural 2023 cohort, CELAP 2.0 continues its focus on empoweringBlack women leaders from Wards 7 and 8 in Washington, DC. This year, the program is supported not only by JPMorgan Chase’s ongoing sponsorship but also by the Jane Bancroft Robinson Foundation.
The kickoff marked the beginning of a new chapter in supporting these leaders as they strive to create lasting impact within their communities.
