AAUW FUNDS
AAUW’s many funds, including named fellowships, research and project grants, and
the Legal Advocacy Fund, provide the means
to advance education, research, and selfdevelopment for women and to foster equity
and positive societal change. A complete list
of funds is available on the AAUW website.
The Las Cruces branch also maintains an
endowment through the New Mexico State

Making a difference for women
and girls since 1923
Founded in 1923, the Las Cruces branch is
the oldest branch in the state of New Mexico.
It includes members with diverse interests,
educations, and backgrounds.
We hold general membership meetings monthly
from September through
June, featuring topical programs. In March, we
sponsor Girls Can!!, a career exploration conference for sixth-grade girls
throughout Doña Ana County. This conference emphasizes what girls can do if they
complete their educations.

County who is pursuing a baccalaureate degree.
Membership in AAUW-Las Cruces includes

Membership in the national organization provides additional benefits, including the biannual Outlook magazine, affordable insurance plans, discounts from various vendors,
