American Association of University Women Educational Foundation Offers Community Action Grants

One of the world's largest sources of funding exclusively for graduate women, the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation supports aspiring scholars around the globe, teachers and activists in local communities, women at critical stages of their careers, and those pursuing professions where women are underrepresented.

The foundation's Community Action Grants provide seed money to individual women, AAUW branches, and AAUW state organizations, as well as local community-based nonprofits, for innovative programs or non-degree research projects that promote education and equity for women and girls.

One-year grants provide seed money ($2,000-$7,000 ) 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 provide start-up funds ($5,000-$10,000) for longer-term programs that address the particular needs of the community and develop girls' sense of efficacy through leadership or advocacy opportunities. Topic areas are 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 of the U.S. Grant projects must have direct public impact, be nonpartisan, and take place within the U.S. or its territories.
