Yesterday JP Morgan Chase Bank decided to override the vote of many who participated in the Chase Community Giving program. This intiative was a Facebook poll that allowed users to vote on which non-profits they thought $5 millions should be distributed to. The National Organization for Marriage Educationa Trust, of which the Ruth Institute operates, receieved adaquate votes to be included in the $5 million distribution.

However, yesterday Chase spokesman said that the bank would be removing The National Organization for Marraige Educational Trust from this list because they violated the Chase nondisrimination policy.
