The IJA Regional Competitions (IRC) bring the IJA Stage Championship model to partner festivals and events around the world. The IRC awards jugglers around the world for performance routines displaying excellence in technique and entertainment. There have been 27 competitions in 15 countries since 2011. The goal for 2019 is to hold 9 competitions around the world and your donations will make this possible.

Props 2 U is an IJA Program that collects new and used prop donations to send to deserving youth juggling programs around the world.  Props have been sent to Kenya, Afghanistan, Bolivia, North Korea, Ethiopia, Uganda and various programs in the USA. Your donation to Props 2 U will go towards paying for shipment of these props. 

The J. Todd Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund is named in honor of Todd Smith, one of the world’s top manufacturers of juggling equipment. Todd was known for giving away props to aspiring jugglers and had the nickname of “the juggler’s friend”. This scholarship fund will support new jugglers who have not had the chance to attend an IJA Festival. Thanks to the generosity of Professor Arthur Lewbel and Mike and Marilyn Sullivan. More information about how to apply for IJA Festival Scholarship will be posted soon.
