Since 2000, the JLI Community Assistance Grants has awarded nearly $5,000,000 to local nonprofits, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to the community. “The Junior League of Indianapolis is committed to fostering a community where all children have the opportunity to thrive,” said JLI Grants VP Sarah Balana Molter. “Through our grants, our volunteer work and our community partners, we aim to make a lasting impact on the lives of youth and generations to come.” Established in 1929, the JLI also provides annual Trust Fund Grants that support the legacy of the first Junior League service project at James Whitcomb Riley Hospital.
