American Association of University Women's Community Action Grant

AAUW Community Action Grants seek to dismantle barriers to girls’ participation in STEM and create a pipeline of diverse talent in these fields. Grants offer up to $75,000 to support nonprofits and educational institutions dedicated to helping girls in grades K–12 build the skills, confidence, and preparation they need to thrive in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). These grants are designed to support programs that provide hands-on learning, mentorship from women in STEM, family involvement, and confidence-building experiences. AAUW is particularly interested in reaching girls from historically underrepresented communities, ensuring that all young women can succeed in STEM fields.

  • promote access to, and effective utilization of, mainstream programs and programs funded with State or local resources; and,
  • optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

The goal of the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) is to support the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness and sharing that experience with and mobilizing communities around the country toward the same end.
