The CAWP Secret Sauce 

How do we gather and present this great info? It all depends on funding. Some people don't realize that, as part of Rutgers University, we're a 501.c.3 organization, and all contributions to our work are tax deductible. As you plan your year-end charitable giving, please add CAWP to your list! With your support, we can continue to deliver the high-caliber research and programs relied upon by you - and by countless individuals and organizations working to empower women and girls across America.
