Junior League of Miami, Inc.

The Junior League's vision is to empower Miami’s women, children and families to conquer tomorrow’s challenges and to build a united community. We are an all-volunteer run non-profit organization that identifies unmet needs in the community which affect families at risk and partners with local nonprofits to develop unique programming, provide resources and organize volunteers to meet those needs. Some of our key projects and initiatives include:  

1. Provision of $100,000+ annually in community grants to address key issues in our community such as: food insecurity, homelessness, domestic violence, education and literacy. 
2. Programming at Inn Transition, a transitional housing facility for women and children who are survivors of domestic violence. JLM founded the first facility over 30 years ago and through our partnership with Miami-Dade County, JLM continues to provide educational activities and life-skills training for the residents. 
3. Focus on Food Insecurity: More than 10% of our neighbors in Miami-Dade County are food insecure and the number increases to more than 18% for children in our community.  Through a partnership with Food Rescue US, we've been able to provide free monthly farmers markets to food insecure residents using excess, donated food from grocery stores and restaurants. 
4. Monthly Done in a Day (DIAD) events that assist other local organizations with short-term (one day) events within the areas of food insecurity, homelessness, family violence, child and women's health, early childhood education, and foster care. 
5. Provision of four annual scholarships to well-deserving young women in Miami-Dade that are making a difference in our community. 

All general funds raised by the Junior League of Miami on Give Miami Day will go directly towards community grants!! Each unrestricted dollar raised will be matched by our Foundation, doubling your impact!
