Western Reserve Junior Service League

Grant Funding for WRJSL is as diversified as our membership. Funds are given to agencies that help infants, children, the elderly, individuals with disabilities or medical needs, and those that are economically disadvantaged as well as agencies that benefit or support our safety services and the culture and arts in our community.

Monies raised from our fundraising projects go immediately back into the community in the form of grants. Twice a year WRJSL accepts grant applications from agencies in Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties in need of funding. Our Community Research committee reviews these applications and sends a committee member to interview a representative from each agency. The committee then makes their funding recommendations to our membership who then votes on these funding requests.

Grant applications are due by September 1st and January 15th. If you are a 501(c)(3) agency and are interested in funding, please complete our online application below or download our Funding Application and mail all remaining pertinent materials you wish to be included with the application to:
