Community Action Grants: Funds for individuals, 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. Topic areas are unrestricted, but should include a clearly defined activity that promotes education and equity for women and girls.

One-year grants ($2,000-$7,000 over one year) provide seed money for new projects.
Two-year grants ($5,000-$10,000 over two years) 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.

Type of Funding/Funding Restrictions: Applicants must be women who are US citizens or permanent residents. Nonprofit organizations must be based in the United States.
