Grants & Funding
Grant funding for WRJSL is as diversified as our membership. Funds are given to agencies that help infants, children, the elderly, individuals with disabilities or medical needs and those that are economically disadvantaged. Agencies that benefit or support our safety services and the culture and arts in our community are also recipients of our funding.
Monies raised from our fundraising projects go immediately back into the community in the form of grants. Twice a year WRJSL accepts grant applications from agencies in Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties. Our Community Research committee reviews these applications and sends a committee member to interview a representative from each agency. The committee then makes their funding recommendations to our membership who then vote on these funding requests.
Fall funding requests must be postmarked from August 1st to September 1st and Spring funding requests, postmarked from December 1st to January 1st. If you are a 501(c)(3) agency and are interested in funding, download our Funding Application and mail with any pertinent materials you wish to be included with the application to:
