The AAUW EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION is the largest source of funding in the world exclusively for graduate women. Each year it distributes more than $3 million in fellowships, grants and awards. It supports scholars pursuing a vast spectrum of academic research; community activists helping to improve the lives of women and girls through education; and through its Eleanor Roosevelt Fund, it supports public school teachers promoting girls’ achievement in math, science and technology.

Each year, the Petaluma Branch of AAUW develops a fundraiser to meet its commitments to EF and the branch endowment at Sonoma State University, which provides scholarships to re-entry women. Thanks to an endowment made by Connie and Herold Mahoney to the Petaluma Educational Foundation in the name of the Petaluma Branch of AAUW, the branch is also able to provide one Petaluma graduating High School Senior with a Community Achievement Award each Spring.

The AAUW Educational Foundation presented a Mayan Art Show and Mayan Meal on February 24, 2007. See pictures from the event
