JLH: Community Assistance Grant

The JLH Community Assistance Grant supports projects in the greater Houston area that fulfill critical needs and lack volunteer support. Eligible organizations can apply once every three years, with a focus on children’s education, health, and basic family needs. Funded partly by the Barbara and Roy Adams Endowed Community Grant Fund, this initiative aims to enhance community outreach and provide essential services, ensuring a positive impact on local residents.

The Junior League is committed to exploring new opportunities that expand its community outreach through Community Assistance Grants.
The Community Assistance Committee evaluates grant applications for projects in the greater Houston community that do not currently receive volunteer support from the League and makes funding recommendations to the League’s Board of Directors for consideration. Specifically, requests that address a critical or basic need, fund a pilot program and/or expand a significant service to the community are considered. Eligible recipients can only receive a Community Assistance grant once every three years.
Community Assistance Grants are funded, in part, by the Barbara and Roy Adams Endowed Community Grant Fund held by the Junior League of Houston Foundation. This endowed fund was made possible through a generous estate gift from Barbara Beardmore Adams (1940 – 2014), a Junior League member from 1982 – 2014.
