Grants

The Junior League of Bronxville (JLB) is committed to continue empowering our local organizations and their projects that contribute to the well-being and advancement of our shared communities through our Community Grants Program.

The JLB’s Community Grants Program is open to eligible 501(c)(3) organizations that benefit the JLB’s service area of Bronxville, Eastchester, Mount Vernon, Tuckahoe, and/or Yonkers. The grants must address an immediate and specific need with the majority impact within those communities. JLB Grants are generally limited to capital expenditures such as special projects or program enhancements. Grants are not intended to provide general operating support. Approved grants typically range from $150 to $1,500.

The 2026 grant application period is closed.

If you have any questions about the application or process, do not hesitate to reach out to grants@jlbronxville.org.
