2023 Derby Day

The Junior League of Boise is excited to host a Derby Day Celebration on May 6, 2023 at the Arid Club to commemorate our 95th Anniversary.

Where Our Funds Go

Funds raised through this fundraiser will support our 2023 fiscal year leadership training initiatives and operational budget. Your support will further allow the Junior League of Boise to improve and enhance our community through programs including our issue-based community impact work that directs our members to advance measurable impact within a specific area of community need. Additionally, with a solid financial footing, our organization can continue our current signature initiative, which we first launched in 2018 and which will culminate in 2028 at our centenary. Through this initiative, we reinvest time, treasure, and talent with ten past project partners to strengthen our relationships within the non-profit industry, increase our visibility in the community we serve, and reaffirm our commitment to our historic partners. We are currently in year five of this 10-year commitment and are working with the Boise Art Museum. Other past Project 100 partners include Learning Lab, the Discovery Center of Idaho, Family Advocates, and the Idaho State Historical Society.
