Here's what's happening
Michael and Susan are deeply committed to their communities — from their home in Texas, to every place where Dell Technologies operates, and through their strong connection to their Jewish faith.
Rebuilding Texas after Hurricane Harvey
Following Hurricane Harvey, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation launched the Rebuild Texas Fund, bringing together partners to raise $100 million and support 290 projects across 41 counties. This work touched the lives of 2.1 million Texans by rebuilding homes, schools, small businesses, and community infrastructure.

Creating a Jewish Community Hub in Austin

Transforming Affordable Housing in Austin

Empowering Austin Youth to Find Stability
Since 1999, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation has partnered with LifeWorks to stand beside Austin foster youth, offering housing, counseling, education, and job training. Together, they’ve helped more than 100,000 young people find stability, finish school, and build pathways to independence.
Helping Communities Hit by Central Texas Floods
To meet urgent needs after the devastating flash floods on July 4, 2025, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation quickly deployed $1.75 million and partnered with local organizations to deliver fast relief to Central Texas communities.
Connecting Jewish New Yorkers to Essential Services
