Current Need
Making transformative education accessible to more local students is the Foundation’s priority for 2026. DMA Foundation aims to expand its Scholarship Program and increase the number of students receiving full scholarships, ensuring that financial circumstances do not limit educational opportunity. Donations, student sponsorships, recurring gifts, and strategic partnerships can help more students in Nosara access a bilingual international education and build pathways toward higher education, leadership, and future opportunities.
