The Junior League of Indianapolis (JLI) provides volunteer support for community projects that can be accomplished in a one-time evening or weekend effort. When nonprofit agencies are limited in achieving their goals because of lack of manpower, this program provides a dedicated group of JLI volunteers to work on short-term projects.

1. Community engagement and service requests must be submitted to the committee a minimum of six (6) to eight (8) weeks prior to the event. This timeline will allow JLI to advertise one (1) month in advance of the event. 
2. Each application will be reviewed by the committee to ensure it meets all criteria listed below. Once approved by the committee, the application will be passed to the JLI Community Vice President for final approval.

1. Agencies must have a 501(c)3 tax designation or be in the advanced ruling period for obtaining this designation.
2. Projects must meet a community need in Indianapolis (or one of the seven surrounding counties) with clearly stated goals and objectives.
3. Projects must embrace the spirit of the Junior League of Indianapolis' Mission Statement and current focus area (Serving the needs of youth in foster and kinship care.).
4. Projects may not involve the Junior League of Indianapolis' volunteers in any fundraising, medical research, political or religious matters.
5. Projects must be fully funded, thereby relying only on volunteer support from the Junior League of Indianapolis.
6. Organizations agree to coordinate all public relations efforts involving a Community Impact Project event with the Junior League of Indianapolis. All promotional materials should be approved by both the agency and the JLI prior to release to the media. The agency agrees to give the JLI appropriate sponsor credit by use of our name and logo on advertising, flyers, brochures, etc., that are created by the agency to advertise the event or project.
