For more than 85 years, the Junior League of Minneapolis has played a pivotal role in the Minneapolis community. Each year, we train and empower hundreds of women in the areas of volunteerism and leadership to become the civic leaders of our community and our world. As a result, the Junior League of Minneapolis serves as a needed source of well-trained volunteers and acts as a catalyst for positive change through alliances with many other non-profit organizations in our community.
Here are a few examples of how your gift can make a difference:
- $25 provides food for one weekend to 8 needy children who are receiving their only weekend nutrition through food provided by Backpack Buddies.
- $50 buys books and activity supplies for children participating in Reading Circles, a monthly reading program at Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery.
- $100 provides 50-75 used books for children who do not have their own books. The Books 4 Kids program fosters early childhood education development.
- $250 enables Kids in the Kitchen to continue to expand and broaden their community kitchen events.
- $500 buys new books for the children who do not have a parent to read to them on a consistent basis and are trying to maintain a close connection with their parent through the Between the Lines program.
- $1,000 sponsors one Leadership & Lattes Training session as part of our monthly Training & Leadership Development series available to all membership.
A gift to the League supports the expansion of our mission to promote volunteerism, develop women, and improve our community. When you invest in the Junior League of Minneapolis, we expand your giving dollars by backing them up with volunteer hours in areas of need to strengthen the communities we live in.
The Annual Fund offers a direct opportunity for businesses, patrons, individuals and members to support the mission of the Junior League of Minneapolis. Our mission is critically tied to the money we receive. We hope that you will consider becoming a part of our Annual Fund.
