  •  PLANNING AHEAD

 

  • RECOMMENDED: The acclaimed documentary, A POWERFUL NOISE, takes you inside the lives of three women – a girls' education crusader from Mali, an HIV-positive widow from Vietnam, and a peacemaking survivor of the war in Bosnia – who each overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to bring lasting solutions to their communities.
    [STATE AAUW WILL BE PURCHASING A COPY FOR OUR STATE PUBLIC POLICY CHAIR]

  • AAUW National Individual Membership dues for fiscal year 2010 are $49; $46 is tax deductible, and $3 is not tax deductible (because it supports the AAUW Action Fund's Section 501(c)(4) Lobby Corps and get-out-the-vote activities). Branch members should pay their $49 national dues plus their branch and state dues through their branch as usual. Individual members (members-at-large) should pay their full national dues ($49) to AAUW as usual. [as of April 1, 2009]

  • AAUW National Student Affiliate fee for fiscal year 2010 is $17; $16 is tax deductible, and $1 is not tax deductible (because it supports the AAUW Action Fund's Section 501(c)(4) Lobby Corps and get-out-the-vote activities).

AAUW advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education and research.
AAUW [Association combined with former Educational Foundation] will be a unified 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Membership dues will be considered membership donations. Of the $49 dues for 2009–10, $46 will be tax deductible [effective July 1, 2009].

The AAUW Action Fund is a non-profit 501(c)(4) entity, encompassing the Lobby Corps, voter education, including the Congressional Voting Record, and politically-related activities. Lobbying-support donations will continue to be 501(c)(4) and not tax deductible [effective July 1, 2009].
AAUW's Legal Advocacy Fund provides funding and a support system for women seeking judicial redress for sex discrimination in higher education. LAF, established in 1981, is the largest legal fund focused solely on this objective. Note: after 2009 and current funding support, LAF is changing to an amicus curiae and other non-financial support and is expanding from just the campus to workplace discrimination as well.
Vision: AAUW will be a powerful advocate and visible leader in equity and education through research, philanthropy, and measurable change in critical areas impacting the lives of women and girls.
Value Promise: By joining AAUW, we belong to a community that breaks through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance.
