Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Portland, Oregon, branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW; initially named Association of Collegiate Alumnae) was founded in 1905 by Elizabeth C. Chapman Donald. Throughout its history, the branch has raised funds for scholarships and fellowships for women, and has advocated for women's education and equity.

In 1918, the branch was one of several women's organizations that raised funds to found the Waverly Baby Home. In the 1930s, the branch offered a "Free Time School" for young women who were unable to attend college. During World War II, its members helped found and staff a "baby lounge" at Union Station where parents who were traveling with young children could rest and see to their children's needs while waiting between trains; it was one of four such facilities in the U.S. Starting in 1954, the branch published a catalog of local nurseries, daycares, and kindergartens. In the 1950s, branch president Marion Stearns advocated for the establishment of an educational television station in Portland, culminating in legislation to fund the Oregon Public Broadcasting System in 1959. In 1973, the branch published a book about Oregon history, "Land of the Multnomahs," as a fundraiser for fellowship programs.
