The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation funds projects that directly serve or impact children living in urban poverty in five essential focus areas: education, health, safety, youth development and early childhood care. The focus is on opportunities with the greatest potential to directly and measurably transform the lives of children.
Examples of funded projects include working to close the achievement gap through programs to improve large urban school districts in cities nationwide, and national school-based programs that engage teachers, students and their community in healthy eating choices and regular physical activity.
