Enabling Funds Grants

The Junior League of San Francisco (JLSF) awards one-time Enabling Funds grants to San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit organizations that align with JLSF’s focus area: bridging the gap of essential needs in the San Francisco community. Priority will be given to organizations that face an urgent and short-term financial need. Examples of such needs may include, but are not limited to:

  • A sudden loss of funding
  • An unbudgeted expense
  • Need for bridge funding

The JLSF Enabling Funds grants (up to a maximum of $5,000 per organization) enable existing nonprofit organizations to continue to provide needed services and programs in our community.

To be eligible for a JLSF Enabling Funds Grant, organizations must:

  • Provide verification of 501(c)(3) status.

Applications are open now but will not be reviewed by the JLSF Community Impact committee until Fall/Winter 2023-24.  Applications will be accepted through January 26, 2024. For questions, please contact communityimpact@jlsf.org.
