Founded in 1992 as a 501c3 non-profit, the foundation’s mission is to fund innovative programs and tools, insuring that all Dearborn Public Schools’ students reach their potential. To that end, we cultivate a private donor base of individuals, businesses, and foundations. The dollars raised cover classroom and extracurricular materials and projects, including books, musical instruments, microscopes, computers, athletic equipment, art projects, and student competitions, that would otherwise go unfunded.
In addition, the foundation partners with individuals and groups who wish to share their legacy with Dearborn’s schools and students. The foundation is equipped to establish naming rights, planned/legacy giving, scholarship funds, and endowed funds and to tailor each to the donor’s vision and wishes.
