Junior League of Charlotte will allocate financial and volunteer resources to promote, support, and provide access to mental and physical health programs and services for children from kindergarten to fifth grade. We will partner with various non-profit organizations who focus on:

1. Programs that Promote Healthy Living, Support Mental Well-Being and Provide Access to Healthcare and Food.
2. Serve priority areas of Mecklenburg County encompassing zip codes: 28205, 28206, 28208, 28212, 28216, and 28217.

Requirements for the Consideration of Applications

• The organization must be tax-exempt and provide proof of 501(c)(3) IRS exemption status upon application. In the case of a governmental body or agency, in lieu of 501(c)(3) evidence, please provide documentary evidence that the agency is an instrumentality of a local, state or federal government.
• Organizations and programs must be consistent with the JLC Mission Statement, Focus Area and Initiatives.
• Organizations and/or programs must be prospects for continuing service or operation.
