Great public schools build strong communities. And behind every student success story is a community that believes in what is possible.
Across Miami-Dade County, students arrive at school every day with dreams, talents, and extraordinary potential. What they need are opportunities to discover their strengths, explore new possibilities, and build a brighter future.
Since 2008, the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Foundation has connected the generosity of our community with the needs of our public schools, supporting innovative teaching, expanding educational opportunities, and helping students overcome barriers to success.
Your generosity helps make a meaningful difference for M-DCPS students and educators through programs and initiatives such as:
M-DCPS Foundation Scholarships: Opening doors to higher education by helping graduating seniors pursue their college and career goals.
Cultural Passport: Bringing learning beyond the classroom through arts and cultural experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and discovery.
Summer Youth Internship Program (SYIP): Preparing high school students for their futures through paid internships, real-world experience, and essential career skills.
Innovative Teaching Grants: Empowering educators to bring creative ideas to life and deliver engaging, innovative learning experiences for their students.
Project UP-START: Helping students experiencing homelessness stay connected to their education by providing essential resources, transportation assistance, and support for important school milestones.
STEAM Labs: Bringing hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics learning to elementary and K–8 schools, inspiring the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.
Every contribution is an investment in the potential of our students and the future of our community.
Together, we can expand opportunities, inspire innovation, and help more students succeed.
