Aauw
Category: Women
DescriptionThe Organization (formerly known as the American Association of University Women) offers Community Action grants to individuals, AAUW branches, and AAUW state organizations, as well as to local, community-based nonprofits for innovative programs or non-degree research projects that promote education and equity for women and girls. One-year grants ($2,000 to $7,000 over one year) provide seed money for new projects. Topic areas are unrestricted but should include a clearly defined activity that promotes education and equity for women and girls. Two-year grants ($5,000-$10,000 over two years) provide start-up funds for longer-term programs that address the particular needs of the community and that develop girls’ sense of efficacy through leadership or advocacy opportunities. Topic areas are also unrestricted, but should include a clearly defined activity that promotes education and equity for women and girls. Applicants must be women who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Nonprofits must be based in the United States. Projects must have direct public impact, be nonpartisan, and take place within the United States or its territories. Special consideration is given to projects focused on K-12 and community college girls’ and women’s achievements in science, technology, engineering, or math. Additional information can be found on the Web site. Applications for these grants must be sent to the Iowa City office, not the Washington, D.C. headquarters or local branches.
