  18. Key Issues of Policy Change Funds raised using the AAUW (national) name must go to support AAUW national programs, activities and services or other directly mission-related purposes, i.e. AAUW Funds. Funds raised using the name of the AAUW-affiliated entity must go to support programs, activities and services or other directly mission-related purposes of the AAUW-affiliated entity. (NOTE: It is acceptable to pay a program stipend to an organizations that does a branch program IF you USUALLY give a stipend to speakers. This comes out of the program budget.)
