Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club accepting grant apps through Feb 1

October 23, 2016 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Wellesley Hills Junior Woman's ClubThe Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club (WHJWC), a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to community service, is now accepting applications for grants now through February 1, 2017.

In the last five years, WHJWC has given away almost half a million dollars.  In 2016, the club awarded $65,000 across 30 grants to Wellesley and Metrowest organizations.  The club donates to a variety of educational, youth, elderly, civic and community programs.  Particular emphasis is placed on those programs that have a significant impact on the Wellesley community.  Last year, the club restructured the Grants process, aiming to make a greater community impact through fully funding concrete programs.  The club will continue this approach for 2017. 

Application forms can be downloaded online at www.whjwc.org.  Completed applications should be sent by e-mail to the attention of Janice Kwan at [email protected] or if email is not possible mailed to WHJWC Grants, PO Box 81194, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481-0002.  Applications must be received or postmarked by February 1, 2017.

WHJWC was established in 1944 as a service organization under the Massachusetts Federation of Women’s Clubs.  Through its four fundraisers –the Wellesley Marketplace, Luminary Night, the Kitchen and Home Tour and the 5K Wonder Run – the Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club raises money that is donated both as grants to local charities and as scholarships to Wellesley High School students.

Become a Junior and help serve the Wellesley community!  If you are interested in learning more about the Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club, please visit our website www.WHJWC.org.

For more information about our grant program, please contact Janice Kwan, WHJWC Grants Chair, at [email protected]
