Each year the Junior League of Santa Barbara (JLSB) awards grants to nonprofit organizations aligned with the organization’s vision to improve the lives of at-risk children, youth and families in Santa Barbara County through the Community Assistance Fund (CAF) program.
Through the JLSB’s 2023-24 Community Assistance Fund grants, a total of $10,000 was distributed to the following nonprofits.
▪ AHA!
▪ Santa Barbara Police Activities League (SBPAL)
▪ Storyteller Children’s Center
▪ St. Vincent’s
▪ What is Love
The CAF awards were announced at the League’s May Annual Dinner by Ashlyn Cavaletto, JLSB’s 2023-24 director at large, strategic planning; and its president, Jenni-Elise Ramirez.
The projects funded were identified as programs that support the JLSB Focus Area: Improving the lives of at-risk young women by educating and empowering them to reach their full potential while working to prevent exploitation and injustice in Santa Barbara County.
Applications for the Community Assistance Fund are accepted annually beginning in January. Applicants for the 2024-25 year can visit the JLSB website for more information.
