Community Impact Report The Junior League of Austin Maintains Commitment to Community Through Volunteers, Funds and our Signature Programs. By: Haley Gardiner, Community Vice President

T

he Junior League of Austin remains committed to supporting the greater Austin community. Our programs and partnerships provide invaluable resources and supportive services to families in need, help make advances in the arts and further the education of community members.

In 2019 – 2020, the League provided close to $650,000 to programs and partnerships across the community. Not only does the League provide financial support to our community, but our members also give their time as well. Throughout the year, more than 1,200 members donated their time to help improve the greater Austin area. The Junior League of Austin has several signature programs and projects that provide our members with a platform to support our community. These programs include: Community Projects: In 2019 – 2020, the League partnered with 31 agencies for the benefit and enrichment of the Austin community and the development and education of our volunteers. More than 550 women supported these agencies throughout the year and combined, they contributed over 39,000 hours in community support. Done-in-a-Day: The League recognizes that many agencies require support for shorter-term projects. As such, we offer our Done-in-a-Day program, which provides support at a variety of events including fundraisers, food bank distribution, along with many other activities. This year, 41 women provided nearly 3,000 hours of support to agencies throughout the community.
