AAUW has more than 170,000 members and supporters across the nation as well as 800 college/university partners all working to further its mission. Since its founding in 1881, AAUW has taken positions on and supported important educational, economic, and social issues.

AAUW is a 501(c)(3) charitable entity, and The AAUW Funds support its work.  The Funds include:

Contributions to the above funds are tax deductible.

Giving unrestricted gifts to AAUW Funds is the best way to provide general support to AAUW where it is most needed for programs. By giving unrestricted gifts to AAUW Funds, a donor receives the benefit of a tax-deduction and makes it possible to respond to the most urgent needs and greatest opportunities to break through educational and economic barriers — and makes the biggest impact on women and girls who are working for their fair chance. It is also possible to restrict tax-deductible gifts to specific funds or programs.

Make checks payable to AAUW-LWB and include the “Lake Washington Branch #WA9017” in the memo section to ensure that the branch is credited for your gift. If you prefer to restrict your gift to a specific fund, please indicate the name or number of the fund on your check or any accompanying document. Mail your check to the branch AAUW Funds chair at Box 40354, Bellevue WA 98015. Or you can contribute online using our secure website. (Do you have an account with password?)
