The Junior League of Minneapolis (JLM) is pleased to provide information about our Community Partnership Program. JLM is an organization of women whose mission is to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training; a mission we have been fulfilling for more than 100 years.

Our success in creating, launching, and strengthening programs is based on positive collaborations with our community partners. JLM provides committed trained volunteers and potential funds to help a program move forward successfully, while offering JLM members the opportunity to impact the community and develop as civic leaders.

In 2025, the JLM shifted its focus to supporting families and caregivers in the Twin Cities. We believe JLM can effectively address this critical need in partnership with other local community agencies. JLM has – and will continue – to commit resources to this focus. We are committed to selecting and funding at least one partnership each year.

We encourage you to submit a program application. Together, our organizations can make great strides to address unmet community needs for families and caregivers in the Twin Cities!

The application includes:

• Section A: JLM Focused Impact Description
• Section B: Community Program Guidelines
• Section C: Community Program Application Process Timeline
• Section D: Community Program Application

The deadline for the completed application submission is February 15, 2026. During this application and award cycle, JLM will grant up to $2,500.
