AAUW Funds

ONE AAUW. ONE MISSION. ONE FUND.

The AAUW Fund (9110) advances AAUW’s mission by sustaining all our programs and activities. “Greatest Opportunity, Greatest Need” encourages unrestricted donations to the AAUW FUND… so they can help many important efforts like NCCWSL, member leaders’ programs , LAF, TechSavvy, Elect Her, $tart $mart, College/University partners, Student Advisory Councils, new program development, Outlook, AAUW Advocacy, research. These programs get results for women and girls; and that’s AAUW’s top priority, now and in the future.
