Michael & Susan Dell Foundation

We build pathways that change lives.

[Michael & Susan Dell Foundation @DellFdn]

Last year, @AustinHabitat brought together volunteers, partners, and community members to build 25 affordable homes in just seven days through the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project. Today, those homes are nearly ready to welcome Austin families.

What started as a week of construction activity is becoming long-term stability and opportunity for 25 families. Future homeowners are now walking through their homes, meeting neighbors, and seeing the place they'll soon call home.

Stable housing is one part of creating a firm foundation for families. We're proud to support work that expands access to affordable housing in Central Texas.

From framing walls to handing over keys, this effort reflects what's possible when people come together.

Congratulations to @DellMedSchool newest graduates: 40 new physicians ready to help shape the future of health care.

Half of the class will continue their training in Texas, including 10 at Dell Medical School, while the other half matched into residency programs across the country. Eleven graduates are entering primary care, strengthening the physician workforce in one of the areas of greatest need.

As Austin enters a new era in health care with the newly announced UT Dell Medical Center, this graduating class joins a generation of physicians redefining how care is delivered, connected and experienced.

Congratulations, graduates. 🎓🤘

For more than 25 years, Michael and Susan Dell have believed that potential is everywhere, even when opportunity is not.

A first-generation college student earns a degree and changes the trajectory of their family’s future.
A young person gains career training that opens the door to a meaningful job.
A family finds stability through safe housing, health care, and support in their community.

These are the people and stories that have shaped the work of the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation — expanding access to education, economic opportunity, and better health outcomes for children and families around the world.

We are honored to celebrate Michael and Susan’s recognition on the TIME100 Philanthropy list and their continued commitment to creating opportunity for millions of families.

Coursemojo keeps 60,000 middle school students on track in reading and writing by embedding real-time AI support into daily classwork.

Students get guidance during the lesson, so gaps don’t grow and learning keeps moving.

Many paths, one standard of excellence. Dell Med’s Class of 2026 is pursuing neurology, surgery, psychiatry, interventional radiology and more, bringing research rigor and community-minded care that improves outcomes for patients. Learn more: https://t.co/KDZAoqid6R @UTAustin

.@Rlabs’ @ReChaCoZA program is helping young adults in South Africa start recycling businesses that generate income and create jobs in their communities. So far, these businesses have created 365 jobs and enabled 1,900 local collectors to earn income. ➡️ https://t.co/STax09K58Q

I started @DellTech from a dorm room @UTAustin, and it shaped everything that followed. Building Dell showed me what’s possible when a company grows alongside a top-tier research university in a city that fuels new ideas.

For more than 25 years, Susan and I have partnered with UT on nearly 200 projects to expand educational opportunity, advance research, reinvent medical education, and strengthen life in Austin. Today, we’re making a new commitment to help build what comes next in health and life sciences — bringing our total giving to UT to more than $1 billion.

We’re excited about what this will make possible for people in Austin, across Texas, and far beyond for generations to come. 🤘

UT Austin is a place where ideas that start in a dorm room turn into so much more — powered by talent, research, and a willingness to build. That’s the Austin story. And that’s the Michael Dell and Dell Technologies story.

It’s also a key part of why Michael and Susan Dell are making a $750 million commitment to @UTAustin, bringing their lifetime giving to The University of Texas to more than $1 billion.

This new investment will support the establishment of the new UT Dell Campus for Advanced Research and the new UT Dell Medical Center to advance human health. It will also provide significant support for undergraduate student scholarships, student housing and UT’s Texas Advanced Computing Center, one of the leading supercomputing research centers in the nation.

This is a direct investment in how people live — helping more people get better care sooner, opening pathways for students into high-demand fields like science, AI, and health, and contributing to a stronger, more dynamic economy and a thriving life sciences hub in Austin.

Big news is coming.

What starts here changes the world.🤘

[Michael & Susan Dell Foundation @DellFdn]

Financial literacy is about knowing how to earn, save, spend, and grow money while making smart decisions every step of the way. @InvestAmerica24 is expanding access to investment accounts backed by the U.S. Treasury, so every American child can start building these skills early.

Here is how they are making a difference:

✔️ Build habits early: Children learn how money grows, how to save consistently, and how to plan for the future.

✔️ Make learning real: Families can track progress with real money, helping them understand how investing works.

✔️ Expand access: More families can participate in investing and build financial skills from the start.

When children have both the knowledge and the experience of managing money, they are better prepared to make informed choices throughout their lives.

This year, every American child will receive one of these accounts. Millions will receive $250 to get started. See if your child qualifies at https://t.co/C7QG0Tk3VB.

Apex Education is driving strong academic results for students in South Africa by pairing great teaching with technology in the classroom.

Teachers track progress in real time and step in when students need support. Students are matching or outperforming peers in well-resourced schools at about half the cost.

Watch how it works.

. @dellchildrens is now home to one of the most advanced tools in pediatric brain surgery: an intraoperative MRI suite, available at only a small number of children’s hospitals in the U.S.

Built directly into the operating room, the MRI provides real-time images during surgery without moving the patient. With this capability, neurosurgeons like Dr. Elias Rizk , co-chief for UT Health Austin Pediatric Neurosciences at Dell Children’s  and professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at @DellMedSchool, can adjust in the moment and complete more of the work in a single procedure.

For families, it means safer, more streamlined care right here in Austin, where world-class clinicians and cutting-edge technology come together to help children heal and move forward.

Happy #MatchDay! Today our students learned where they’ll train as resident physicians. Residents are essential in academic medicine, strengthening care teams and bringing evidence-based care to patients. See where the Class of 2026 matched: https://t.co/z5wqpnj0SJ

.@MagicBusIndia is building confidence and decision-making skills for more than 87,000 middle school students by training teachers to lead practical, activity-based sessions in public schools. See how this approach is driving results in Indian classrooms.

Amazing to see @DellMedSchool and @dellchildrens's Medical Center deliver the first pediatric bone marrow transplant in Central Texas. 💪

For families, this means highly complex cancer care is now available right here in Austin — close to home, with teams they can trust.

This is what building academic medicine in Austin makes possible. 👏
