Fort Bend, Texas:

The Fort Bend Junior Service League (FBJSL) supports the Fort Bend community in numerous ways. Its Community Assistance Fund (CAF) allows FBJSL to provide grants of up to $5,000.00 to charitable causes serving Fort Bend County that need financial support to fund a critical need, pilot a program, or expand a significant service to the community. Recently, FBJSL awarded several CAF grants.

Hope Fort Bend Clubhouse received $1050 for the purchase of laptops to support the agency’s virtual learning efforts.  Hope Fort Bend Clubhouse provides free psychosocial services to our Fort Bend County residents who have a mental health diagnosis.

Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council was awarded $2,500 to provide financial assistance to Fort Bend girl scouts for program costs such as membership dues, uniforms, and other program materials.

Gods Garden received $5,000 to purchase gypsum for the new section. God’s Garden provides a viable means to bring fresh organic vegetables to those most in need in the local area and inspire them to make their own gardens.

Camp Kesem Rice was awarded $1,100 to purchase camp supplies for Fort Bend residents who attend the agency’s free, student-run, week-long Summer camp for children affected by a parent or guardian’s cancer.

These agencies provide valuable resources to our local community and FBJSL is honored to support their efforts!

If your agency or organization is interested in applying for a CAF grant, please visit the Request Support page of the FBJSL website (www.fbjsl.org/request-support). Applications for CAF grants are accepted, and CAF grants are awarded, on an ongoing basis throughout the year.
