Junior League of the Palm Beaches

What Junior League of the Palm Beaches does

Junior League of the Palm Beaches (JLPB), legally Junior League of the Palm Beaches, Inc., is a Florida-incorporated 501(c)-style nonprofit women's volunteer organization founded in 1941 and headquartered at 470 Columbia Drive, Bldg. F, West Palm Beach, FL 33409. The organization advances women's leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training, and is a chapter of the Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI), a network of 291 Junior Leagues across the United States and four countries.

JLPB delivers a portfolio of community programs, educational offerings, and signature fundraising events. Community programs include Eye & Ear Alert (free vision and hearing screenings for preschoolers since 1968, ~400 children screened annually across 13 sessions), Little Libraries (30+ free mini libraries at Title 1 schools), D.I.A.D. (Done in A Day) volunteer projects with 20+ nonprofit partners, The Alliance for Period Supplies (over 1 million supplies distributed), and Kids in the Kitchen nutrition education. Educational programs include the Cotillion Academy in partnership with Junior Assembly for K-9th grade students. Signature fundraising events include Deck the Palms Holiday Market (100+ vendors, ~1,200 attendees, $55,000 raised in a single recent year), Worth Tasting on Worth Avenue, Lady in Red, and the cross-chapter Summer Soiree. The organization also administers Community Assistance Grants (up to $2,500 per agency).

JLPB's revenue is generated through four primary streams: membership dues ($100 application fee plus $200 annual dues), event fundraising (transaction-based ticketing, VIP packages, and vendor fees), grants and donations (including the $8,500 Lost Tree Village Charitable Foundation grant and Terracon Foundation community grant), and corporate sponsorships (including The Stafford Firm, P.A. as presenting sponsor of Deck the Palms). Technology infrastructure is minimal: a WordPress CMS website with SSL encryption for transactions, Google Analytics for traffic monitoring, and MailChimp for email newsletters. Operations are supported by a small staff of 1-10 employees plus a rotating volunteer board and ~600 active members, down from ~800 members as recently as 2016.
