The Junior League of Portland’s Endowment was established to support our mission: promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. In the past two years, the Junior League of Portland has awarded over $50,000 in grants to numerous non-profit community organizations that support our mission and activities that surround it. The Junior League of Portland evaluates endowment Grant Applications twice a year. Applications are due annually on July 31st and February 1st. All non-profit organizations that support our mission are welcome and encouraged to apply.
