The Junior League of Baton Rouge invites non-profit organizations in the greater Baton Rouge area to apply for ongoing volunteer support for the 2026-2027 fiscal year (from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027) by submitting a Community Project application.

For grant applications, please refer to the Community Assistance Fund application.

To request volunteers for specific or periodic events, please refer to the Ready Hands application.

The Research and Development Committee selects projects that align with our bylaws and policies, prioritizing initiatives that support the Junior League’s vision of Women as catalysts for lasting community change in the areas of health, education, and cultural development.

The JLBR has established strict requirements in order to provide the broadest community impact of the JLBR’s resources. The guidelines were developed to coincide with the JLBR’s fiscal year which runs from June 1 to May 31. They are as follows:

• Applicants/NPOs must be classified as 501 (c) 3 organizations.
• Fundraising projects for the applicant/NPO are not eligible.
• Projects which support religious or political activities are not eligible.
• Any applicant/NPO or its affiliated projects and/or subcommittees that receive JLBR Project assistance is not eligible for any other source of support from the JLBR during that same fiscal year.

All applications must be submitted electronically NO LATER THAN MARCH 31st, 2026.  For more information or inquiries about Community Project applications, please email ResearchandDevelopment@juniorleaguebr.org.
