Description
This opportunity provides funding for AAUW International Fellowship alumnae to implement community-based projects that advance gender equity for women and girls in their home countries. The grant is designed to empower alumnae to leverage their academic training and leadership skills to address pressing local needs—examples include securing property rights for widows and creating safe workplaces for women. Projects must be locally grounded, have a clear impact on women and girls, and be led by the alumna herself as the primary project director.
