Membership Matters: Give a Grad a Gift by Linda Patterson and Sharon Norris

As an AAUW member, you can gift one year of AAUW national membership to as many recent college graduates as you like at no cost to them or you. (National members, you can do this too!)

We all know that the future of our organization depends on today’s graduates, so we need you to introduce AAUW to them. Here’s how you can share AAUW with recent grads.

  1. Identify recent college or university graduates in your networks.  These graduates can be people you know or strangers! You could gift AAUW memberships to the entire graduating class of your local college or university — in fact, we encourage it. Anyone who has completed their undergraduate degree in the past two years is eligible to receive one free membership from an AAUW member.
  2. Collect their information. You’ll need to know the mailing address, phone number, email, and alma mater of each of these future AAUW members.
  3. Fill out our handy form! (located on the national website)
  4.  Voilà! Welcome, new AAUW members. Hello, future of AAUW.

Its a win-win situation. Giving a grad the gift of AAUW membership costs nothing for you or for them — and is rewarding for you both!
