JOINING IS EASY

To become a member of a branch of AAUW, you must also become a member of the national AAUW organization and the state organization.  So if you are new to AAUW,  start with the website for the national organization: AAUW National

Create your login there and pay your dues: national, state, and GRAAUW branch dues. The national organization will notify the branch of your membership and that your dues have been paid. 

Dues for regular members are the following (updated 5/8/24)

AAUW National     $72.00
AAUW Virginia       $15.00
GRAAUW Branch   $28.00
Total                      $115.00

Check the GRAAUW Dues Table 2024 to see if your situation qualifies for a different dues payment.

<QUESTION: FOR A BRAND NEW MEMBER, is paying the total dues to the branch by check really a worthwhile option?  The new member still needs to become known to National.>

To pay by check:   Make your check payable to the GRAAUW branch, and mail it to your branch Finance Officer:  AAUW of Greater Richmond, Jane D. Newell, 509 South Cherry Street, Richmond, VA 23220.
