2024-2025 Community Partner Project Proposal Application

Community Partner Project Proposal Application

Junior League of Jackson Year 2024-2025
Thank you for your interest in partnering with the Junior League of Jackson (JLJ) to use our volunteer and financial resources to help improve the lives of children and youth in our community. The Junior League of Jackson endorses a Community Impact Model for selecting and evaluating its community projects. This model requires the League to identify a small number of critical community needs and place its volunteers and project funds exclusively or primarily in those areas to maximize the League's effectiveness in improving the community.

The League has identified the following community needs, which will be used for selecting projects for the 2024-2025 League year:
- EARLY LITERACY
- CHILDREN'S HEALTH
- SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
If your Proposed Project addresses one or more of these needs, we look forward to considering a partnership with your organization. If you have more than one Proposed Project idea, please submit a separate and complete application form for each proposal. All Proposed Projects must begin no earlier than June 1, 2024, and conclude no later than May 31, 2025.

During our review and evaluation of Proposed Projects for the 2024-2025 League year, we anticipate having an open dialogue with you as it relates to our ability to participate in your Proposed Project.
