Apply for a Grant

The Junior League of San Francisco (JLSF) awards 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:

• Organizations facing a sudden loss of funding
• An unbudgeted expense
• Organizations that are in need of 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:

• Submit an Enabling Funds Grant Application and related documents.
• Demonstrate that the specific program requiring funding aligns with JLSF’s focus area of advancing the social and emotional health of at-risk youth and elderly populations.
• Provide verification of 501(c)(3) status.

Apply for a JLSF Enabling Funds Grant

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through March 2023.
For questions about the application, please contact communityimpact@jlsf.org.
