Project Application Program
|
The Junior League of Macon is excited to present our new format for accepting project ideas from non-profit organizations who could use our volunteers and/or funding! We hope by having this application available on-line, we are able to reach ALL non-profits who are serving our community in areas that coincide with our mission of being "a significant force in women's and children's health". We invite you to complete the form attached and let us know if there is some way the Junior League of Macon can partner with your organization in making an impact in our community. Please note that there must be League members donating volunteer hours in a project for the League to provide funding. If you strictly want funding for a project (in an amount no greater than $500), please be on the lookout for information posted on our website about Community Grants.
