JLM Foundation
The Junior League of Miami Foundation, Inc. (“The JLM Foundation”) was established as a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit entity to provide long-term, stable financing to support the Junior League of Miami (“JLM”) and community programs in the years ahead. A gift to The JLM Foundation becomes an investment and is used to strengthen and provide long-term financial stability to the mission and community programs of the JLM. We are very thankful for all of your generous donations! Since 2004, The JLM Foundation has granted over $228,000.00 to the JLM. As our Foundation donations grow, so does our yearly support to the JLM and community programs.
