Every year the AAUW California Fund Committee honors AAUW California members who have done outstanding work in supporting the programs and goals of the AAUW Fund and/or AAUW California. For branches, in particular, a Named Gift is a special way to pay tribute to an individual, a group, or an organization giving extraordinary service to AAUW.
Branches can nominate a Named Gift Honoree for each $750 contributed by the branch or branch members on or before December 31st. However limiting the number of nominees adds to the prestige of the award. For questions contact [email protected]
