MILLBURN, NJ — The Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills invites local nonprofit organizations to apply for a Community Grant for 2016-2017. JLOSH offers grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. Grant recipients will be announced in spring 2017.
The grants will be awarded to qualifying organizations whose programs further JLOSH’s new “Fill the Need” initiative. This initiative focuses on addressing the basic needs of low-income children in JLOSH’s service area through community work dedicated to closing the gap on food insecurity, school supply gaps, essential clothing and basic hygiene needs of school-aged children living in poverty. Grants will be awarded only to programs that target the communities in JLOSH’s service area, which includes East Orange, Livingston, Maplewood, Millburn, Orange, Short Hills, South Orange, Springfield and West Orange.
Nonprofit organizations interested in applying for a JLOSH Community Grant are invited to visit the league’s website at www.JLOSH.org, to be directed to the online application. The grant application must be completed no later than Friday, Dec. 16, at 5 p.m. Questions regarding the grant application or selection process should be directed to Frances Longo, JLOSH Grant Evaluation Committee chairwoman, at 973-379-9655 or by email at [email protected].
