Legal Advocacy Fund (LAF) works through community and campus outreach programs,  resource libraries, online advocacy tools, and various research reports. In collaboration with the Public Policy and Government Relations department, the LAF seeks amicus curiae opportunities in cases on discrimination that disadvantage women in the workplace. California’s Gloria Weston Campus Outreach Fund, established in 2004, is used to create opportunities for education and discussion on topics of equity, discrimination and tenure at California universities and colleges.

Fellowships and Grants  AAUW is one of the world’s largest sources of funding for graduate women, provided for more than 200 fellowships and grants to outstanding women and non-profit organizations in the 2012-13 academic year.  Due to the longstanding generous contributions of AAUW members across the U.S., a broader community of women continues to gain access to educational and economic opportunities — breaking through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance.
