Thank you to our members, friends and partners for supporting The Junior League of Long Island Annual Appeal and Giving Tuesday campaigns.  To date, the League has received $2,330 in donations!  These campaigns are a vital source of funding that allows the league to carry out its mission and support a variety of needs, including materials for community programs, speakers for leadership trainings and upkeep of our building that houses the Thrift Shop, our year-round fundraiser vital to JLLI’s sustainability.  

January is #HumanTraffickingAwarenessMonth. Throughout the month of January, JLLI is participating in a campaign to raise awareness and advocacy around human trafficking. Every day, children are bought, sold, and exploited right in front of our eyes. During #HumanTraffickingAwarenessMonth and year round, we're committed to opening the eyes of community members about this heinous crime and the survivors that walk among us every day. Learn more: https://abolishmovement.org/

Nonprofit organizations need tools to evaluate their fundraising efforts and ensure these continue to meet their needs in funding their missions. The Junior League of Birmingham (AL) developed a return on investment scorecard to measure the success and mission-related impact of their many different fundraising activities. Whether you have a few major events or many different types of fundraising efforts, this tool works to give you the information your League needs to make good, data-driven decisions about League fundraisers.
