For decades our Birmingham Branch has financially supported women seeking the benefits of higher education. We are now providing scholarship grants to more than ten women attending seven Michigan public universities. In recent years we have added a scholarship to a student from Pontiac High School and continued our support into her second year of college. We are proud of our Branch’s accomplishments, and we are proud of the academic achievements of the scholars that we are supporting.
This month we are launching our 2025 scholarship fundraising campaign with an ambitious goal of raising $27,000. We have done it before. We can do it again. We’ve set an ambitious goal, because we are proud of our AAUW Branch mission and the difference we make, and we need each AAUW Branch member to join in. Every gift is valued, Every gift makes a difference.

Bring donations for the Bound Together Holiday Store
Bound Together provides a caring nurturing community in the city of Pontiac, Michigan. It provides an afterschool program for students Tuesday-Thursday during the school year. The program consists of “downtime” between school and tutoring, 1:1 tutoring for students, and hot meal and bus service home.
Donation items should be holiday gifts for adults. Children go into the “Holiday store” and buy gifts for their parents and grandparents. Gifts can be new or gently used. If it is a gift that you would be delighted to receive, then it will be acceptable to these parents and grandparents. Ideas for women: bath items, manicure sets, hand lotion, scarves, gloves, umbrellas, jewelry, etc. For men, shaving items, after shave lotion, socks, map of Michigan, key rings, umbrellas, etc.
