MORRIS COUNTY — The Junior League of Morristown (JLM) accepts grant applications from community non-profit organizations in greater Morris and Somerset counties from Sunday, January 1, to Tuesday, January 31.
The JLM Grant Program provides community grant awards to non-profit community organizations to support projects consistent with the league’s mission, vision, and impact area.
The league’s mission is to promote volunteerism, develop the potential of women, and improve communities through trained volunteers. Its vision is for women to be catalysts for community change, and the impact area is to address the unmet needs of teens.
The grants awarded by the JLM help support non-profit organizations in various ways, including helping to fund their first year of operation, funding an initiative or project, or funding an event or organization that will create a significant community impact.
“The Junior League of Morristown is proud to be able to support non-profit organizations in our community that is supporting teens through these grants,” said Junior League President Melissa Spiotta, the Board of Education president for the K-12 Morris School District. “There is so much need, and we are happy to help.”
