The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation is dedicated to transforming the lives of children living in urban poverty through improving their education, health and family economic stability.

They start by identifying the people and places most in need. They then work closely with their partners to find solutions that combine bold thinking with real-world experiences and hard data. They go directly into communities and learn about families’ struggles and aspirations, then pair those most in need with proven, practical solutions to help them move forward. Since their start, nearly 20 years ago, they have committed more than $1.748 billion to support families across the United States, India and South Africa.

They firmly believe that true progress and transformative, sustainable change are the products of time, hard work, and a willingness to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who live and breathe the challenges they aim to overcome. They know they can’t solve every problem, but with collaboration and determination they can accelerate real progress for real people every day.
