Established in 1999 with a gift from Michael and Susan Dell, the Foundation was created to fund initiatives and programs designed to remove barriers that prevent children from achieving their greatest potential. With an endowment of more than one billion dollars, MSDF proactively seeks out opportunities to support or develop programs that address the five essential focus areas of children’s health, education, safety, youth development and early childhood care. Using a collaborative, outcomes-driven approach, MSDF identifies programs and community leaders that share its vision of creating enduring systemic change for children. Within its first three years, MSDF has provided more than $40 million to children's and community initiatives.
