Description: One-Year Grants provide seed money for new projects. Topic areas are unrestricted, but should include a clearly defined activity that promotes education and equity for women and girls. The proposed activity must take place within the United States or its territories. The proposed activity must have direct community or public impact.

As Community Action Grants, One-Year Grants provide funds for innovative programs or non-degree research projects that promote education and equity for women and girls. Specifically, the grants provide funds that address issues related to the needs of women and girls or that provide information to educate and benefit the public on those issues. AAUW encourages proposals for projects that (1) use innovative approaches to address local community needs or build linkages among community partners and (2) build partnerships between schools and community organizations. Special consideration is given to (1) projects focused on K-14 (including two-year colleges) girls’ achievement in math, science, and/or technology; and (2) projects that seek community partners. Community partners might include local schools or school districts, businesses, and other community-based organizations.

The grants will not fund the development of written work for academic credit or research that will be used for a degree thesis or dissertation.
