TAX Info for members

Remember that both AAUW and AAUW-NYS are 501(c)(3) organizations. As a result, a portion of your annual dues are tax-deductible as charitable contributions.

  • ALL the state dues are deductible.
  • ALL the national dues are deductible.
  • Dues for 501(c)(3) branches are deductible. Dues for 501(c)(4) branches are not. If in doubt, check with your branch president or treasurer.

Current (February 2024) Dues Information

AAUW has been transforming women’s lives for more than a century. And now that we’ve won the fight to give women equal access to education, we’re taking on one of the most defining issues of our time: gender equity. But we can’t do it alone.

Your continued membership is very important to the mission of AAUW.

TO HELP WITH THE MOST DEFINING ISSUE OF OUR TIME:

  • Dues for National will remain at $72.00
  • Lifetime Membership $1440.00/One time payment
  • Dues for New York State will remain at $7.00

National Dues Notes

  • Membership campaigns are national promotions and discounts that AAUW branches may offer to potential members to help their recruitment efforts.
    • Members who join through Shape the Future events (STF) pay NYS dues. Branches must submit the Guest/Referral Form to the Association along with the Dues Remittance Form for New Members.
  • Transfer Members – A current National Member (formerly called Member-at-Large or MAL) is not new to AAUW, but a “transfer” to branch membership. If their national membership is current, no national dues are required until the end of the fiscal year in which she joins a branch.  A “transfer” member could also be someone who has moved and is joining a branch in her/his new area.
