Annual gifts may be directed to the Area of Greatest Need or towards a specific program or project of the League. Gifts to the Area of Greatest Need allow The Junior League of Austin's Board of Directors to direct funds to programs as needed and provide flexible funds to respond quickly to unique opportunities. Annual gifts provide the basis of support for the League's annual community project partnerships and in-league training opportunities. Donors to the Annual Fund are recognized in the A Christmas Affair edition of Capitalines produced in the fall and the Capitalines Impact Report produced each spring. Annual gifts may be made with cash, credit card or stock transfers. You may make your gift online at our Donate Now page, by downloading and returning our response card, or by downloading and returning the stock transfer form.
