SUSPENSION OF 2021 GRANTS
It is with regret that we announce the suspension of our grants program for 2021. Our yearly week-long Christmas at the Caswell House events are the main fundraising source for our grants. For two years in a row, we have not been able to host these events due to unexpected disasters: 2019 the Caswell House suffered extensive flooding and 2020 the pandemic hit, thus leaving us with no budget for grants. We still very much believe in supporting our community partners and are hopeful that the grants program will resume in 2022. Please check back here in December 2021 for updates.
Read below to see what some of our grant recipiens have to say about AJF!
"On Tuesday, we visited the The Caswell House to happily receive a generous grant from Austin Junior Forum. Our sincerest gratitude to all AJF members for your partnership. In addition to grant support, AJF volunteers have donated 92 total hours of service so far this year! Mil gracias to these wonderful ladies for supporting the needs of mothers and young children in so many ways." --AVANCÉ
"Over the years we have been so blessed with the countless volunteers from Austin Junior Forum who help at every drive and event we have throughout the year. Our programs would not be so successful without these ladies and their dedication to service.
