Our Impact

Where Opportunity Becomes Reality

At the DPSCD Foundation, we create access. Access to resources. Access to opportunity. Access to success. 

As the official fundraising partner of Detroit Public Schools Community District, we support initiatives that remove barriers, enrich experiences, and open doors—at scale. Every dollar we raise and every partnership we form is designed to empower the 50,000 students across 105 DPSCD schools. 

Explore how we make that happen—and how you can be a part of it.
