AAUW - a 501(c)(3) CORPORATION
AAUW's purpose is to advance equity for women and girls through
advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research. AAUW promotes equity,
education and development of opportunities for women and girls that enable
them to realize their full potential; provides fellowships and grants to
women; and cooperates with other organizations and foundations having
mutual interests. In July 2009 AAUW, The Educational Foundation and the
Legal Advocacy Fund merged into one non-profit, 501 (c)(3) corporation.
The endowed funds, part of the Educational Foundation from 1958 to July 1,
2009, are now included in the Educational Opportunities Fund section of the
AAUW Funds. AAUW has 100,000 members in all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Florida has over 3,000 members most
of whom belong to one of the 39 branches in the state.
THE AAUW FUNDS
Contributions to these funds are income tax deductible to the donors.
Educational Opportunities Fund: Awards Fellowships and Grants such
as the American, Selected Professions and International Fellowships;
Career Development and Community Action Grants.
Eleanor Roosevelt Fund: Provides understanding of issues important to
women and girls through research and published research reports.
Legal Advocacy Fund: Provides legal case support, case support travel
grants and funds campus outreach projects. The Legal Advocacy Fund
was a separate organization from 1961 to July 1, 2009.
Public Policy Fund: Advocates for laws and policies that are fair to women
through government relations, civic engagement and field organizations.
101
Leadership Programs Fund: Develops women's potential to learn in
their schools, communities, states and countries through Campus
Action Projects, Campaign College and the National Conference for
College Women Student Leaders
THE AAUW ACTION FUND
The purpose of this Fund is support and advocate for legislation,
policies, and procedures related to women's equity and education
which qualifies it as a 501(c)4 organization. The fund will provide
information and resources facilitating the purpose and activities of
the Fund to AAUW members, branches, and states and cooperate
with other organizations having mutual interests.
CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, INC OF
NORTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY AAUW
The Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization in January 2008. The first officers were elected on
February 25, 2008. Beneficiaries of the funds raised by and
contributed to the Foundation will be the AAUW Funds and the
Doris Karlik Local Scholarship Fund. Contributions to the Charitable
Foundation are income tax deductible to the donor.
The Foundation's major fundraiser is the annual benefit luncheon.
DORIS KARLIK LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS
The local scholarships were created in 1999 by then out -going
branch president, Doris Karlik, to assist deserving local women
needing financial support to continue their educations. Prior to
the establishment of the Foundation the initial Karlik family grant
was augmented with fundraising efforts including "Women Pins",
candle sales, game nights, special fundraisers, etc., and individual
donations. Since 1999 40 deserving Palm Beach County women
have been awarded scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,000 to
help them complete their college educations.
