2022 Community Enrichment Fund Grantees Awarded $2,500
The Junior League of Oakland-East Bay (JLOEB) awarded Community Enrichment Fund (CEF) Grants to four organizations serving Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Each of these grants was funded by distributions from the Maridel M. Moulton Endowment Fund, a fund that was created after Sustainer Maridel Moulton served as the President of AJLI. The Community Enrichment Fund (CEF) provides support for projects that align with JLOEB’s vision of Women Building Better Communities by supporting organizations that focus on women and children. We received 16 applications and selected four organizations and projects for CEF grants.
