GIVE IN MEMORIAM
Honor a Life. Uplift a Student.
When you give in memory or in honor of someone special, you create a living legacy — one that uplifts the students of the Detroit Public Schools Community District and invests in the future of our city.
Your gift becomes more than a tribute. It becomes school supplies in the hands of eager learners, clean clothes that help a student show up with confidence, health services that keep kids in class, and classroom experiences that connect students to careers.
Each contribution helps us remove barriers to education and build a school community where every child can rise.
What Your Gift Supports
Your tribute gift powers the programs and services that support Detroit students in meaningful, tangible ways:
- Clean Clothes, Consistent Attendance
Washers and dryers in every DPSCD school help reduce chronic absenteeism by ensuring students have access to clean uniforms and outfits — a barrier that keeps far too many kids from walking through the doors.
- Health Services Right at School
Our Health Hubs offer medical, behavioral, and vision services on-site, helping students stay healthy and in the classroom where they belong.
- Career-Connected Classrooms
We’re working with DPSCD to transform the high school experience — aligning learning with real-world careers and helping students graduate with both diplomas and direction.
- Student-Centered Support
From enrichment programs to technology and classroom resources, your donation helps meet students where they are and support them holistically.
