Fundraising

Our fundraising supports the AAUW mission of advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, and research. We raise money for the AAUW Educational Foundation, the Legal Advocacy Fund, and other Association Funds, as well as for operating funds. We also welcome any member donations throughout the year.

We have shifted our branch fundraising to a variety of efforts. One of the most successful is a plant sale in the month of May. The plants are perfect for Mother's Day and a start to summer gardening. We also are recycling gently used favorites at our branch meetings as a fundraiser. A wonderful way to suport AAUW is to buy an AAUW King Soopers gift card and use it every time you shop. Most of us are passionate readers and use the book sale to recycle what we have read.

For 33 years we held the Holiday Home Fair, a craft and fine arts event, as our only fundraiser. This tremendous event enabled us to purchase computer servers for the Jeffco Action Center, commission public art sculptures, support the AAUW Educational Foundation and Legal Advocacy Fund, as well as fund many other community efforts.

Community Involvement

We promote and support public education. We also participate in local events, such as Habitat for Humanity builds, Race for the Cure, and the Second Wind Walk/Run.

We achieve positive outcomes by combining our efforts with other community groups:

For several years Lakewood AAUW's local philanthropy was A Step Up: Education is the Gateway to Women's Financial Security. We assisted with the educational goals of women who are working hard toward self-sufficiency and a better life in Jefferson County. We teamed with Stride, a social service organization in our community, to help us identify women who needed financial assistance for their next educational steps. We successfully funded this effort with the wonderful support of the 240 Union Restaurant in Lakewood.
