About HOUSTON JUNIOR FORUM INC

Houston Junior Forum, Inc. (EIN 74-6049008) is an active, tax‑exempt 501(c)(3) women’s organization based in Houston, Texas; the EIN and public filings were verified against nonprofit registry and filing records and match the organization represented by the group's official website. The organization focuses on volunteer service, grantmaking, and scholarship support for children, youth, women, and senior adults across the greater Houston area. HJF operates several signature programs including the HJF College Scholarship Program, the HJF Community Grants Program, an upscale Resale Shop in the Heights (operating since 1969), and an annual fundraiser (The City Market) that supports its charitable activities. Beginning with the 2024–2025 academic year the College Scholarship program expanded eligibility beyond HJF Community House Preschool to include applicants from the Nehemiah Center and Spring Spirit, demonstrating recent program growth. Recent public financial filings and organizational updates show active operations through 2024–2026 (including the Resale Shop calendar updates and City Market fundraising activity), ongoing grant awards, and continued multi‑year scholarship support to local students.
