    About Junior League of New Orleans

    A defining part of Junior League of New Orleans Inc’s grantmaking is its direct material support for women, caregivers, and families in Greater New Orleans. Several of its largest recent grants are for diapers and period supplies, including $26,199 to Hispanic Resource Center Food Distr in Kenner and $21,057 to Giggles Child Development Center in New Orleans. That pattern matches the organization’s stated mission to advance women’s leadership through volunteer action, collaboration, and training, while funding practical programs that address family assistance, physical and mental health, and economic opportunity. The foundation also uses targeted community grants to support local organizations working on related needs. St. Thomas Community Health Center in New Orleans received a $15,850 CAF grant, and Stem Heads in New Orleans received $13,300. The grant record shows support for nonprofits serving women and families across the Greater New Orleans area, with recurring attention to basic needs, caregiver support, education, and workforce entry. Junior League of New Orleans Inc also funds scholarships and fellowship support for women, alongside nonprofit program grants, making its giving a mix of direct service and capacity-building support for the local community.

    What Junior League of New Orleans Funds

    Basic needs is a central theme in the recent grants list. Junior League of New Orleans Inc gave $20,433 to Catholic Charities in New Orleans to provide diapers, and $18,879 to Weatherford Academy Early Learning in Westwego for the same purpose. The Diaper Bank program aligns with that work by distributing diapers, period supplies, and adult incontinence products to caregivers and partner agencies. The foundation also supports community-based health and family services through its CAF grants. It awarded $15,850 to St. Thomas Community Health Center in New Orleans and $7,500 to Emergency Legal Responders in New Orleans. These grants fit the Community Assistance Fund’s focus on economic opportunity, physical and mental health, and family assistance. Education and workforce development appear through scholarships. In 2025, Herzing University Ltd in Milwaukee received a $7,796 scholarship grant. The organization also runs a scholarship opportunity for women seeking degrees or certificates needed to enter or advance in the workforce.
