The Community Assistance Fund provides a means for the Junior League of Montgomery to respond quickly, as in an emergency situation, to a limited funding need of non-profit agencies. A volunteer component is not required and requests may come from outside the Junior League of Montgomery focus area. The CAF enables the JLM to support a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency in their immediate time of need.

Guidelines for Community Assistance Fund Application

• Applicants must have a 501(c)(3) status or legal equivalent with the IRS.

• CAF requests are for monetary emergency needs under $1,000. Any amount exceeding $1,000 requires approval by the Junior League of Montgomery Board of Directors.

• Grants shall be restricted to agencies that operate within a 35 mile radius of Montgomery.

• Requests will not be considered from annual fundraising drives or campaigns.

• Any non-profit agency that receives funds from the CAF may not re-apply for funding from the CAF in the same calendar year.

• Agencies that are already receiving funds from the Junior League of Montgomery are ineligible for CAF funding.
