The JLSP Endowment has been in existence since 2002. After two years of extensive research and investigations into several endowment options, the JLSP established its endowment with the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay.

Donations to the League’s endowment can be made by paying securely via credit card online by clicking here, or via check payable to the Junior League of St. Petersburg with a notation earmarking the donation for that intention.  If you have any questions about Annual Giving or Endowment, please contact Erin Whittemore Lohmiller and Hannah Gross at fundraising@jlstpete.org or 727-895-5018.

THE COMMEMORATIVE FUND

Commemorative gifts are a way to honor a friend or remember a loved one, with all proceeds benefiting The Junior League of St. Petersburg’s Endowment Fund. It is a way to let a fellow League member know that you are joining in their celebration or thinking of them in a time of sorrow. You can commemorate anything you like; here are a few ideas:

  • Celebrate a birthday, an engagement, a marriage, a birth, a promotion, a new job, etc.
  • Honor someone’s service to JLSP, going Sustainer, etc.
  • Offer condolences to a member who has lost a loved one
  • JLSP offers an unlimited option ($125) to allow members to submit recognition throughout the League year

All donations made through the Commemorative Gift Program support the Junior League of St. Petersburg’s Endowment Fund. Gifts Received by the 15th of each month will be recognized in the following months e-Blast and Quarterly CauseWay.
