What kind of match?
Starting February 11th, all qualifying projects will receive a 3X match. That means a $20 donation will become a $60 donation.
Last fall, Lyda Hill Philanthropies matched donations on women in STEM projects inspired by the IF/THEN Collection, and invited teachers to submit their most innovative ideas for engaging their students in IF/THEN resources. 10 winning projects were selected. Now, if you implement one of the winning ideas, your project could qualify for tripled donations.
If your project meets the criteria below, new donations on your project will be tripled as long as funding remains. You will see the match offer applied to your project as soon as it is approved and live on the site. Please note, the match offer will not appear during Friends and Family Pre-Funding.
Getting ready to create your project:
- Review the winning projects and ideas below.
- Browse through the IF/THEN Collection’s resources.
- Pick the winning project and idea that you think will work best with your students, and choose at least two IF/THEN resources or ambassadors you want to engage your students with.
Creating a qualifying project:
- Make sure you’ve reviewed the winning projects below and looked at the IF/THEN Collection’s resources.
- Create a project, on the HI step of creating your project, enter the campaign code IF/THEN.
- Request resources that will bring the goals of one of the winning projects below to life for your students. Keep your total project goal under $2,000, including taxes, shipping, fees, and the suggested donation to support DonorsChoose.
- In your project essay, mention the winning project title that you got inspiration from. Also name at least two IF/THEN resources or ambassadors that you want to implement with your own students.
