IF/THEN® Gender Equity Project Due Date Extended and New Categories!!

Funding Available for Gender Equity Projects in Public Libraries! YES, Libraries are Eligible for All Grants!!

With support from Lyda Hill Philanthropies and the IF/THEN® Initiative, the Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC) is accepting applications for IF/THEN^® Gender Equity Engagement Grants. Grants are available for public libraries, museums, science centers, zoos, aquariums, public gardens, and other cultural institutions located in the United States. Grantees can receive funding up to $6,000 to implement projects that highlight women in real STEM careers, and can use project files from our extensive library of pre-designed exhibits, banners, videos, activities and more, making it easy to adapt content for your own institution.

New to the library are two projects designed especially for children’s museums and early childhood spaces. “Project 9: The STEAM in Me: Sparking STEAM Curiosity in Young Innovators” and “Project 10: STEM Play Workshops” feature replicable exhibit content for early learners and play-based spaces. View previews of these projects in the Printable Panels and Banners section of the Project Library.

The application is simple, and grants are awarded on a first-come first-serve basis. Visit IF/THEN® Grants for details about requirements, to preview the application, and to apply. Take advantage of the quick and straightforward application process to apply by the deadline of October 28!

If you have questions, please reach out to the ASTC team at ifthen@astc.org.
