MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the National Charity League, Inc. is to foster mother-daughter relationships in a philanthropic organization committed to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences
 

ABOUT NATIONAL CHARITY LEAGUE
National Charity League, Inc. is a mother-daughter organization dedicated to serving the communities in which chapters are formed and to fostering the mother-daughter relationship. Our goals are to promote a sense of community responsibility in our daughters and to strengthen the mother-daughter relationship. The daughters along with their mothers participate in a 6-year educational program of philanthropic work, leadership training, educational activities and cultural events.
 

HISTORY
In 1925, a small group of women interested in philanthropic work founded the Charity League in Los Angeles.  Initially, they volunteered with the Red Cross, making layettes and assembling and delivering baskets of food to the hungry at holiday times. Sometimes they brought their daughters with them. By 1938, so many daughters had become involved that they decided to form their own group.

In 1947, these groups united to become the first mother-daughter charity and took their present name, National Charity League. The newly formed group decided to expand its program beyond philanthropic work to include educational and cultural activities.  NCL was reorganized and incorporated as National Charity League, Inc. in 1958.

Today, there are 150 National Charity League chapters throughout the United States with over 33,000 members and continues to grow.  National Charity League, Inc. headquarters is in southern California. The National Council Board of Directors represents the organization’s five regions.
