American Association of University Women Accepting Applications for

Community Action Grants

Deadline: January 15, 2008

The American Association of University Women ( http://aauw.org/ )
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.
