The Jeanie C. Linders Fund® is a grant-making, nonprofit organization that specifically focuses on women, as they possess the power and the desire to help not only their families, but their communities as well. By empowering women and their businesses, JCLF taps into the best way to drive an economy and promote lasting solutions.

Jeanie Linders, writer and producer of the international hit show Menopause The Musical®, is our founder. With the international success of her show, she realized that the uplifting musical is a tremendous resource to positively reach thousands of women across the US and around the world.

The Jeanie C. Linders Fund® was established in 2005 and since that time, we have worked with organizations from our hometown in Central Florida to Nairobi, Kenya and places in between. Recently, we finished our second 50-city Menopause The Musical Out Loud™ Tour to increase awareness of the medical, social and emotional issues faced by the millions of women battling ovarian cancer.

This year, There’s No Place Like Home National™, a program of the Jeanie C. Linders Fund®, will become the forefront of our efforts. Established in 2008, TNPLHN is currently working in the Hollygrove neighborhood in New Orleans, Louisiana. In the coming months, we will provide up to 12 homes in this neighborhood. Through this unique program, houses are built by volunteer schools nationally and finished by local volunteer groups from corporations, colleges, fraternities, sororities, churches and other groups. Communities from across the nation come together for a common goal – providing a home for a woman and her family who have lost theirs due to natural and catastrophic disasters. In January, the JCLF staff and volunteers celebrated the “passing of the keys” to our first family!

To learn more about our impact on this neighborhood, please visit the Programs & Sponsorship page or www.TheresNoPlaceLikeHomeNational.org.

As we move forward, we will continue our mission to entertain and empower women…to truly make a difference in women’s lives in the U.S. and throughout the world. We’re excited about what the Foundation has and will continue to achieve and the lives touched along the way.

Empowering Women Worldwide,
