    About Aauw Action Fund

    Aauw Action Fund Inc’s recent giving is defined by two $300,000 grants, both in Washington, DC, to American Association of University Women Inc. That repeat pattern points to a funder that operates through a closely aligned organizational relationship rather than a broad external grant portfolio. The action fund’s stated purpose is advancing equity for women and girls through member activism and voter mobilization, and its program areas extend across women’s equity, voting and elections, education, economic security, civil rights, and reproductive rights. The foundation’s current grant activity also shows a clear programmatic emphasis on civic participation. Its active grant programs include It’s My Vote initiatives that support voter registration, turnout, and college student outreach, including newspaper advertising and postcard-based mobilization. The grants and programs together suggest a focused strategy: supporting advocacy, election engagement, and policy change in ways that align with women’s equity and voter protection. With annual grants of $600,000 and assets of $649,021, the funder operates at a relatively concentrated scale.

    What Aauw Action Fund Funds

    Aauw Action Fund Inc’s clearest programmatic thread is voter engagement. Through It’s My Vote funding, the foundation supports advertising in college and university newspapers, with one program described as limited funding for branches in California, Florida, and Illinois to promote voter registration and turnout among college students. Another active grant program supplies reminder postcards and postage for get-out-the-vote work by AAUW branches nationwide. The foundation also supports civic participation through branch-level outreach tools. Its postcard and postage support program is explicitly tied to voter mobilization and membership outreach, showing an emphasis on practical campaign materials rather than broad, unrestricted awards. Across these programs, the focus remains on women’s equity and voting access, with additional stated themes in education, economic security, civil rights, and reproductive rights. The active programs reflect that policy and participation work are central to how the funder gives.

    How Aauw Action Fund Gives

    The grant-size distribution is fixed at $300,000 at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile, indicating highly concentrated award sizing. The latest two grants, in 2023 and 2024, were both $300,000 and both went to the same recipient, which shows recurring support rather than one-off awards. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its active programs include first-come, first-served support and limited funding for branches, and some opportunities accept unsolicited requests.
