How AWIN is funded

Initial gifts from Alice Wimpfheimer built the fund, and other donations have sustained it. Those funds are invested, and what they earn pays for grants each year. In 2025 they earned $4,170, and they are forecast to earn more in 2026.

Donors also give for a set purpose, such as a student trip. Targeted gifts support approved projects that fit AWIN’s grant criteria.

Running AWIN costs very little. The administrative costs to manage AWIN are small, less than $1,000 per year. All board members are volunteers, with no paid staff or office.

Every gift becomes a grant

A gift to AWIN pays for the next student, the next training, the next report.
