The AAUW Tar Heel branch formed in the fall of 2008 to provide the benefits of an AAUW community to those in North Carolina who wanted more than an at-large membership in the national organization, but did not choose to join any of the community-based branches. (If you haven’t yet explored the community-based branch option, please see map with NC branch locations or use the locate branch by zip code.)
In addition to the national benefits, branch membership includes:
- Access to advocacy information about what’s going on in Raleigh, not just DC
- Opportunity to support AAUW NC mini-grants and to apply for those grants
- Opportunity to support AAUW NC’s coalition partners
- All AAUW NC publications
- Access to the member section of the AAUW NC web site (contact us for the user name/password information)
- Access to the branch roster through the www.aauw.org Member Services Database
- Information from nearby community-based branches on special events and projects
For 2011-2012, AAUW dues are $49, AAUW NC dues are $11.00, and the Tar Heel Branch dues are $5.00. The branch dues year is July 1 to June 30, and we are now collecting dues for 2012-2013. These dues may increase after July 1.

IF YOU WANT TO DO MORE
If you’d like to make a donation to the branch, use this button.
If you pay your dues at the same time, we’ll take any extra and apply it to the branch projects and expenses. [For this year, our primary expenses are spreading the word about this innovative structure.] If you’d like any of your donation to be forwarded to AAUW Funds, make a note on the PayPal form, or send specifics to treasurer@tarheel.aauwnc.org.
Of course, donations directly to AAUW are also strongly encouraged.
*Dues and fees that include payments to AAUW are partially tax deductible: $46 of the $65 and $16 of the $17 or $38.81 are considered contributions to AAUW, a 501(c)(3) organization as of July 1, 2009. Payments to AAUW NC and to the branch are not tax deductible as charitable contributions, but may be considered professional expenses.
