Dybala, who recently secured his fifth Serie A title with Juventus, has become the 159th player or manager to pledge a minimum of one per cent of their salary to the fund.
The 26-year-old Argentina international will lead an ambitious football-based project using education and youth leadership to eradicate the effects of violence, racism and discrimination.
Dybala joins a Common Goal collective that already includes Jurgen Klopp, Kasper Schmeichel, Mats Hummels, Serge Gnabry, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan.
Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata, who became the first player to join Common Goal in 2017, has welcomed the Argentine to the team.
"This is not about me," said Dybala. "In fact, it is quite the opposite. This is about working together to tackle the challenges we face.
"I am committed to playing my part in helping to eradicate discrimination, and education is key. What better time to celebrate the platform that we enjoy as players, than when we enjoy success on the pitch?"
