Junior League Mildred Anderson Community Grant Program
Application Available: October 1
Application Deadline: January 15, Noon
Final Determinations: Mid-April
The purpose of the Junior League of Sioux City is to address community needs through the participation of trained volunteers. Thanks to a generous gift, the Junior League of Sioux City has been able to financially support short-term community need projects through the Mildred Anderson Community Grants program since 1990. The William Johnson Fund for Children was recently established and will benefit the children of Siouxland. Both funds are distributed through a competitive application process.
