Fort Bend Junior Service League Empowers Local Organizations with Grants and Fundraising Events
In their continued efforts to support local organizations, the Fort Bend Junior Service League (FBJSL) continues to channel its resources through the Event Beneficiary (EB) and Community Assistance Fund (CAF) grant programs. Evaluated based on their specific needs and alignment with the League's goals, beneficiary applicants have the opportunity to significantly advance their missions through FBJSL's support. This year, the Beneficiary Review Committee (BRC) has conducted in-person interviews with nearly 40 potential Event Beneficiaries.
FBJSL, a league of women dedicated to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women, and improving the Fort Bend County community, has prioritized the selection of organizations that will flourish with their support. Since its inception in 2001, FBJSL has donated more than $5.75 million to non-profit agencies in the Fort Bend community, bolstering their abilities to provide critical services throughout the county.
