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
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. [Our primary expenses are spreading the word about this innovative structure, but we have accumulated funds we can use to support local programming.] 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 $34.81
are considered contributions to AAUW, a 501(c)(3) organization as of July 1, 2009. Payments to the AAUW Action Fund, AAUW NC, and to the branch are not tax deductible as charitable contributions, but may be considered professional expenses.
