Community Assistance Funds
Each year, the JLC designates a portion of its budget for Community Assistance Funds to help address the short-term critical needs of not-for-profit organizations whose work supports and relates to the mission and vision of the JLC and/or AJLI. The intent of these funds is to permit the JLC to respond to critical community human service needs in accordance with the JLC General Policies. The average award for these funds is $1,000 and they are administered by our Board.
Community Assistance Funds Application
We encourage you to contact us at info@jlcolumbia.org if you have any questions regarding the application or if you would like more information about the JLC.
Community Forums
The JLC’s Community Research and Project Development Committee hosts a series of issue-specific forums during the League year that bring together representatives from non-profits organizations, agencies, and other groups working in common areas. Each of these forums is designed as a facilitated conversation where members can learn more about specific issues facing our community and ways they can become involved in addressing them. Contact us at info@jlcolumbia.org to learn about upcoming topics and dates.
