American Association of University Women Accepting Applications for Community Action Grants
Deadline: January 15, 2008

The American Association of University Women (<a href="http://aauw.org/">http://aauw.org/</a>) Community Action Grants provide seed money to individual women, 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. Applicants must be U.S citizens or permanent residents.

The program offers one-year grants ($2,000-$7,000 each over one year) to provide seed money for new projects. Topic areas are unrestricted but should include a clearly defined activity that promotes education and equity for women and girls.

The program offers two-year grants ($5,000-$10,000 each over two years) to 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 are unrestricted but should include a clearly defined activity that promotes education and equity for women and girls.

Applicants must be women who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Grant projects must have direct public impact, be nonpartisan, and take place within the United States or its territories.
