AAUW is actually two separate not-for-profit corporations: AAUW or the Association and the AAUW Educational Foundation including the AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund.
AAUW is a 501(c)(4) not-for-profit advocacy group. Donations are not tax deductible, although memberships may be tax deductible as a business expense.
The AAUW Educational Foundation, commonly referred to as EF, is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and, as such, donations to EF are tax deductible. It is the nation's oldest and one of the largest single sources of non-institutional funding of graduate education for women. In recent years, over $4.5 million has been awarded annually.
The AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund, known as LAF, is also a part of the 501(c)(3) charitable organization and, as such, donations to LAF are tax deductible. LAF, established in 1981, provides financial and emotional support for women in academia seeking redress in the judicial system for sex discrimination. It is the largest legal fund focused solely on this objective.
