Support Our Mission 2013

Make A Gift that Goes Three Times Further

Your contribution to The Junior League of Austin’s Community Fund supports more than 30 nonprofit agencies and community service projects.

Each dollar given to the community through The League is tripled in value. Your dollar is combined with our trained, talented, dedicated members who volunteer with our community partners tripling your investment.

Our community partners are seeing an unprecedented amount of requests for help. Thus, our combined partnership and support is needed more now than ever. We hope you will partner with us, allowing The Junior League of Austin to make an even greater impact in our community.

If you have any questions regarding your contribution, please contact our Financial Development Vice President via email at financialdevvp@jlaustin.org. Thank you for your support!

Because there are children who are cold; And the JLA will wrap them in a warm winter coat. There are women who seek financial independence; And the JLA will dress them for success. Children without sight deserve an equal opportunity to learn; And the JLA will provide books for them to read. Children are spending Christmas alone; And the JLA will provide what may be their only gift during the holiday season. There are women who have survived a life of abuse; And the JLA will help connect these women to a safe place.
