…Because Equity is still an issue.
AAUW is an association of women and men who share a vision in advancing education and equity for women. Since its first meeting in 1881, AAUW has been a catalyst for change. Today, with more than 100,000 members, 1,300 branches, and 500 college and university partners, AAUW contributes to a more promising future and provides a powerful voice for women and girls—a voice that cannot and will not be ignored.
Membership is open to all graduates who hold an associate’s or higher degree from an accredited college or university. Student-affiliate status in AAUW is available for anyone now studying at a qualified institution.
In principle and in practice, AAUW values and seeks a diverse membership. There shall be no barriers to full participation in this organization on the basis of gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or class.
AAUW is a 501 (c)(3) organization headed by an Board of Directors, elected and appointed. The AAUW Action Fund is a smaller 501(c)(4) organization which supports and advocates for legislation, policies and procedures related to women’s equity and education. (Effective July 1, 2009)
