AAUW Fund provides the resources to work towards our mission. Priorities are to achieve economic security for women, to support a strong system of high quality public education, and to guarantee individual rights and social justice for a diverse and inclusive society. We are one of the world’s largest sources of funding for graduate women. Donations support research, legal advisors, educators, and lobbyists to advocate for these priorities.

FUND chairs encourage and direct our members to support and sustain AAUW philanthropic programs. We promote fundraising efforts and inspire members to underwrite the programs through undesignated and designated gifts and to meet goals. We submit donations and review the Quarterly Branch reports for accuracy. Donors are recognized and celebrated in Forecast articles, at general meetings, and by personal thank yous.

 

2024-2025 AAUW Named Gift Honorees Announced at February Meeting

Our Branch held our annual AAUW Fund meeting in February 2025. We chose February for the FUND because it is the heart of AAUW. Our speaker Sora Woo gave us insight into her very interesting PhD dissertation on Korean Music – both historically and today’s K-Pop.

The AAUW FUND Named Gift Honorees Sue Sutton and Sandy Galea-Martinez were honored for their dedication to our Branch with our monthly meetings and our Branch fun times including Bingo! They have been members over 5 years and have done an amazing job with everything that they have done for us during that time period.

Our Branch donated approximately $17,000 to the AAUW Fund this past year. 45 members of our Branch donated to the Fund this year.
