To the national organization

AAUW at the national level has a long history of using financial contributions to benefit education and equity.

In 1920 Marie Curie, a future Nobel Prize-winning scientist, received $156,413 from members toward the purchase of one gram of radium.
By 1958, the Fellowships and Grants program had grown so that a new corporation, the AAUW Educational Foundation was established to administer the endowments and ensure their growth.
In the 1980’s, the Legal Advocacy Fund was established to combat sex discrimination in higher education.
In the 1990’s, the Foundation initiated the Eleanor Roosevelt Fund to support its groundbreaking series of research reports.
More recently, AAUW has established the Leadership and Training Institute to fund the National Conference of College Women Student Leaders and other programs to economic self-sufficiency, leadership development, and career advancement.

In North Carolina, members have completed several Educational Foundation endowments to honor members or specific anniversaries. Read about them and the scholars and activists they supported in 2007-2008 as well as other fellows in North Carolina in this news item. Find more about the awards and recipients at the online search tool.

AAUW North Carolina is encouraging contributions to two funds which have not yet reached stipend producing level:

Ann Chipley American Fellowship, #4051 which will support American and selected professions fellowships.
Charlotte Branch Research and Projects Fund, #1429 which will support community action and career development grants.

To continue these efforts to advance equity for women and girls, consider a donation to support AAUW’s work. [If you have registered with the AAUW member services database, you can use the “Individual Contributions” section of that application to make a streamlined contribution.]
