Description

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is offering funds to community-based organizations for innovative programs or research projects that promote education and equity for women and girls. Grant projects must have direct public impact and be nonpartisan, with special consideration for projects that focus on K-12 and community college skill development in science, technology, engineering, and math. The AAUW provides one-year and two-year grant opportunities. Previous grants have gone to a program that fosters environmental awareness and leadership for girls of color, a summer camp that empowers refugee girls, and a program that teaches young and incarcerated women to write, edit, and create blogs.
