Annual membership dues amounted to less than five percent of our revenue in 2006. Furthermore, we share dues income with our national organization – UNA-USA. Therefore, we need your help in order to fill the gap!

Perdita Huston Human Rights Award Fund
PERDITA HUSTON (1936-2001), author and journalist, was committed to giving voice to women in developing countries. She focused her writing on the often-overlooked role of rural women. She recognized their struggle to survive, care for their families, and maintain their individuality in lives swept by change. Through her writing and activism, Ms. Huston demonstrated a life-long commitment to improving the status of women everywhere.
Upon her death, UNA-NCA decided to establish the Perdita Huston Human Rights Award to celebrate Perdita Huston and to recognize the life and work of others who are outstanding advocates for women's rights in the Third World.

Andrew E. Rice Global Education Fund
The Rice Fund was established in 2006 to honor former UNA-NCA President Andrew E. Rice and his life-long commitment to global education. The Fund aims to support initiatives of UNA-NCA aimed at increasing knowledge and understanding of world affairs in a multilateral perspective. Work with faith-based groups is one action. Another has been to give support to a lecture series on UN reform in cooperation with the Woodrow Wilson Center. The Fund is managed as part of the UNA-NCA endowment, and currently has assets amounting to about $35,000. Both income and principal from the Fund may be spent for its activities.
