Community Action Grants
The Morgan Hill Branch of AAUW (American Association of University Women) is committed to providing local and national support for AAUW’s mission, promoting equity for women and girls. The growing success of our annual Morgan Hill Wildflower Run fundraiser enables AAUW Morgan Hill to expand our philanthropic activities, and we are now awarding discretionary grants of up to $1000 each to local charitable organizations.
We are now accepting grant applications for the 2023-2024 year. Applications must be submitted by November 1, 2023.

Alternatively, they may be emailed (or you can send a link to your completed Google Doc) to grants@aauwmh.org. Successful candidates will be notified of their selection by November 28, 2023. Funding must be used before the end of the 2024 calendar year.
Application Criteria
