American Association of University Women (AAUW) -- Community Action Grants
The American Association of University Women’s Community Action grants provide funds to individuals, AAUW branches and AAUW state organizations as well as local community-based nonprofit organizations for innovative programs or non-degree research projects that promote education and equity for women and girls. One and two year grants are available. One-year grants provide seed money for new projects. Two-year grants provide start-up funds 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 for both grants are unrestricted, but should include a clearly defined activity that promotes education and equity for women and girls.
Grants range from $2,000 to $10,000. Applicants must be women who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Nonprofit organizations must be based in the United States.
Deadline: January 15, 2009
