2017–2018 ANNUAL REPORT DEAR COMMUNITY AND MEMBERS,

Another incredible JLD year has come and gone! Through the tireless efforts of our members, staff, partners and supporters, we have continued to raise the bar with a year full of Mission-centric moments. We held our first JLD L.U.V.S., Leaders United in Volunteer Service, on September 23, 2017 in the Globeville and Elyria-Swansea (GES) neighborhoods. During this inspiring day of service, 180 members donated 720 direct service hours benefiting the neighborhoods and seven nonprofit partners. It was a wonderful day, and we can’t wait to do it again on September 22. Kali Handford JLD granted $20,000 in May 2018 to four deserving partners: Florence Crittenton Services, The 2017–2018 JLD President GrowHaus, Heart & Hand Center and Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus. We will grant up to $50,000 in 2018-2019, and up to $30,000 in 2019-2020, bringing the total to $100,000 given to the community in honor of our monumental 100th Anniversary year. We completed accessibility-focused improvements at our JLD Headquarters on Delaware by installing a lift elevator, a ramp leading up to our front door, and a fire exit on the lower level of our building, increasing our building capacity from 49 to 123. Together, we achieved 150% of our fund development goals, with JLD Foundation assets close to DISTRIBUTION $8 million due to generous donations, healthy market conditions and the phenomenal forethought FROM JLDF of the members that established the Foundation in 1992. Today, the JLD Foundation provides approximately 30% of the League’s annual operating budget. All JLD fundraisers set attendance and/or fundraising records over previous years. Our community programs continue to grow and prosper. We held trainings throughout the year on a variety of Carleigh Landers Elkus interesting and informative topics. 2017–2018 JLD Foundation President Overall, the year was a great success! It has been our humblest honor to serve as your President and Foundation President. Our hope for our 100th Anniversary year is that members will take the time to honor our past, and continue to forge ahead into a hopeful and prosperous future. Thank you for all you do each and every day for the JLD and our beloved community.

Sincerely,

Kali Handford Carleigh Landers Elkus 2017–2018 JLD President 2017–2018 JLD Foundation President
