Community Impact
Each year, The Junior League of Victoria, Texas, Inc. (or JLV), awards Community Assistance Funds (or CAF grants) to non-profit organizations in the Victoria community that meet the League's funding focus of promoting efforts to ensure that children and families have the opportunities necessary for physical, intellectual, emotional, mental, and economic well-being, as well as social growth.
CAF Grants are typically awarded in amounts up to $1,000. However, JLV member-sponsored CAF Grant applications may be awarded in amounts up to $1,500. In order to apply for a JLV member-sponsored CAF Grant, an organization must have a sponsor who is currently an Active or Sustaining Member within JLV and is also an active volunteer within the applicant’s organization.
Grants are made only to exempt organizations qualified under IRS Code 501(c)(3) and must be used for charitable, literary or educational purposes in accordance with IRS 501(c)(3) guidelines. Grants to organizations with a fiscal sponsor that is a qualified 501(c)3 organization will also be considered. Grants will not be given to individuals. Requests for the following will not be considered: (1) donations for annual fundraisers, (2) events that have already happened, and (4) organizations practicing discrimination. All grant funds must be expended for exempt purposes within Victoria County.
To be eligible for funding, an organization must submit the following:
-
Completed grant application form
-
Supporting documents:
Attachment A: IRS Determination Letter (or application for 501c(3) status, if pending)
Attachment B: Most Recent Form 990
