My Project

Hello friends and supporters,

At DCMS, we're planting the seeds of possibility through a brand-new Business Program—and we need your help to make it grow.

Our students are bright, creative, and full of big ideas. Many come from underserved backgrounds, yet they show up each day with ambition and curiosity, eager to learn and dream beyond their circumstances. We see future CEOs, designers, problem-solvers, and innovators in our classrooms. What they need now are the tools and opportunities to explore those futures—and that’s where you come in.

Your donation will help us bring essential resources into the classroom:

Hands-on business kits for launching mock companies

Financial literacy games and simulations

Chromebook charging stations

Supplies for creating marketing materials

Technology to support research and digital presentations

Access to real-world examples and entrepreneurial tools

Classroom essentials such as composition notebooks, pencils, pens, and folders.

And other items such as a rug and posters to create a comfortable learning environment.

This program will teach students how to write business plans, pitch ideas, manage budgets, and collaborate in teams—essential skills that build confidence and open doors to real-world opportunities.

Above all, we want our students to know that their ideas matter and that their futures are filled with possibility. Every dollar you give is not just helping fund a project—it's helping shape the next generation of leaders and changemakers.

Thank you for believing in our kids and helping us build something truly transformative.

With gratitude,

Cornelious L. Florence
