Grants

For more than 75 years, JSL has supported Greater Eastern Jackson County non-profits through our Community Grants program. We are proud of this tradition of giving to our community, not only in service, but in resources. It is our practice to give financial support to assist projects or programs that will benefit people in the Greater Easter Jackson Count area.

Junior Service League partners with Truman Heartland Community Foundation to fund grant requests.
