FCRA PROJECT: MICHAEL & SUSAN DELL FOUNDATION GRANTS

Deadline: ROUND THE YEAR

In working to create lasting social change our philanthropic approach is simple: identify the best individuals and organizations working on an issue, and then help ensure they grow and scale effectively.

The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation has always recognized the power of providing grants to partner organizations that we knew were already working hard to improve the lives of urban children living in poverty. By aligning with organizations that are already making a difference, we continue to make an immediate impact on the lives of thousands of children.

There’s no shortage of challenges in education, family economic stability and childhood health. To meet these challenges head on, it’s essential that we’re nimble in our approach. That’s why we use a range of financial tools and structures to support our work. In addition to our core grant making, we also use a selective, mission-driven impact investment strategy to help develop specific products and tools, as well as spur new markets that serve the poor, and we employ direct service agreements when an opportunity calls for specialized expertise.
