Your Journey Starts Here
Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive—and at the DPSCD Foundation, we believe the entire community plays a role in making that possible.
Whether you’re here because you believe in the power of public education, want to honor your roots, or simply feel called to make a difference, you’ve come to the right place. This is where impact begins.
As the official fundraising and partnership arm of Detroit Public Schools Community District, we fuel programs and services that go beyond the basics—providing access to enrichment, mentorship, mental wellness support, career exploration, and more for 50,000 students across 105 schools. But we can’t do it alone.
Here, you’ll find tangible ways to take action—through giving, sponsoring, honoring a loved one, or lending your voice as a proud alum. And if you’re looking to learn more about the work we do before jumping in, this is a great place to explore our programs and initiatives too.
Together, we’re building more than futures—we’re building a movement.
