JLWOS Grants Overview:

The Junior League of Westchester on the Sound (JLWOS) is an organization of women with a mission to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training. JLWOS’ volunteer and outreach activities are funded by the sales of its thrift shop, the Golden Shoestring, located in Larchmont.

JLWOS is proud to be able to support its mission through its annual grants program. The JLWOS grants program is open to community organizations in New Rochelle, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye Brook, Rye Neck, Rye, Harrison and Port Chester that are addressing the needs of women and children in our community. Granted amounts typically range from $1,000 to $10,000.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Applications for grants must be made by and for the use of tax-exempt, non-for-profit organizations;
• Grant proceeds should serve the needs of the community in one or more of the JLWOS service areas: New Rochelle, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye Brook, Harrison, Port Chester and Rye;
• Grants will typically not be awarded for the same project for more than two consecutive years, barring special circumstances.
