The IF/THEN Collection aims to inspire girls to become scientists and engineers because they are 'exciting, relevant, and cool.'
As part of the project's kickoff, IF/THEN will offer a $1 million matching fund for teachers and a $650,000 grant program for science and technology centers and museums.
California-based Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation—a venture philanthropy group—will expand to Dallas with the move. Dallas-based founding tenants Commit Partnership, The Dallas Foundation, United to Learn, and Uplift Education served as thought partners during a multi-year planning process.
Prospective Water Cooler tenants may receive reduced rent and access to a 'What-Else-Do-You-Need-to-be-Awesome' fund.
The more than 120 women in STEM—10 from Dallas-Fort Worth—chosen by Lyda Hill Philanthropies to be IF/THEN Ambassadors will all have their statue displayed at NorthPark Center starting May 1.
IF/THEN, a national initiative of Dallas-based Lyda Hill Philanthropies, focuses on furthering women in science, technology, engineering, and math fields by inspiring innovators and the next generation through its ambassador program.

IF/THEN is a first-of-its-kind coalition built on the idea that 'IF we support a woman in STEM, THEN she can change the world.' Through partnerships, research funding, media content, and an ambassador program, the Dallas company intends to inspire young girls to pursue STEM careers.
