Summary
This grant program is for U.S.-based nonprofit organizations, state affiliate groups, and in some project categories, also universities or individuals (depending on the specific grant track). The core mission is to support initiatives that promote education and equity for women and girls (especially K‑12).
There are two main types of support: project support, which funds specific programs or activities aligned with the mission; and general operating support, which helps nonprofits sustain and grow their ongoing work. Some grants are more narrowly focused, such as those emphasizing STEM fields or underserved communities.
Grant amounts typically range from about $3,000 up to $10,000. Larger grant levels may be possible for stronger or larger‑scale project proposals.
Eligible applicants must have U.S. nonprofit status (usually IRS 501(c)(3); AAUW branches/state bodies may qualify under 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4)). Projects should show a clear goal, an ability to measure outcomes, a reasonable budget, and often community engagement. Priority tends to be given to work in underserved or demographically or geographically marginalized areas.
Uses of funds usually include development or expansion of educational programming, outreach, training, or tools that help girls in K‑12 gain confidence, skills, or equal access (particularly in STEM, though broader educational equity also applies). However, funds are not meant for political lobbying, influencing elections, or similar partisan activities.
Applications are typically submitted annually, with deadlines published on AAUW’s website. There may be required documentation like IRS determination letters, budgets, evaluations, and narrative descriptions of projects and impact.
Eligible applicants in Missouri with a demonstrated commitment to Elementary Education are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
