AAUW Community Action Grants — checklist¶
What this is: A letter of interest (LOI) for a grant that funds girls in STEM programs.
Ask: about $20,000 (if they invite a full proposal)
When: Submit LOI between Aug 17 and Sep 17, 2026
Funder site: AAUW Community Action Grant
Status: Withdrawn / not applying (2026 cycle)
Decision¶
Skip this cycle. Confirmed roster participation: 1 girl of 7 students. AAUW Community Action is framed around girls-in-STEM impact; applying with a single participant would overstretch the narrative and waste board time before the Sep 17 LOI close.
Revisit in a future cycle if girls’ participation grows or Apex runs a distinct girls-focused workshop series.
