This fund provides grants to AAUP collective bargaining chapters to support legal cases of importance to the broader higher education community or that may have significant precedential value for other AAUP chapters.

Collective Bargaining Chapter Mobilization Fund

The purpose of this fund is to provide grants to AAUP collective bargaining chapters to support new member organizing drives and other member mobilization activities such as contract campaigns or issues campaigns.
