FORT WAYNE BRANCH, AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN TRUST

The Fort Wayne Branch AAUW Trust was established in 1979 when the Branch received a bequest from the estate of R. Hazel Miller.  An additional bequest in 1989 from the estate of Letha Falls was added to the capital account.  In 1998, a generous donation was given to the Trust in memory of Anne K. Waterfield.  Additional gifts and memorials are shown in the Treasurer’s Annual Report on a subsequent page.

The AAUW Trust purposes include:
1.  Encouraging education among members of the AAUW and the community.
2.   Funding appropriate studies and projects in keeping with the objectives of AAUW.
3.   Promoting standards of excellence in public school education and in higher education.
4.   Cooperating with other persons, organizations, trusts, or foundations whose purposes and activities are similar to those of the Trust.

Grants ranging from less than $500.00 to more than $3000.00 are distributed once a year.  Groups receiving grants can reapply every three years.    The grant application is January 1 through February 28.  Grant applications may be accessed here at the website or by mail from our P.O. Box 10993, Fort Wayne, IN 46855.  Qualifications for a grant are available when you request a grant form on this website.  We will accept applications electronically as well as through our PO Box.  The Trust Board will meet in March to review the requests and grant monies will be distributed in April at a public meeting place.  Public acknowledgement of the receipt of a grant, as well as an accounting of the use of the funds is expected before the Trust Board. .
