Magic Johnson Foundation

The Magic Johnson Foundation, founded by Earvin “Magic” Johnson in 1991, develops programs and supports community-based organizations that address the educational, health and social needs of ethnically diverse, urban communities.

The Foundation has had a significant impact toward changing the face of urban minority communities. Its programs and services are dedicated to having an affirmative effect on community revitalization by:

• Eliminating negative cultural barriers
• Advancing economic and social equality by engaging minorities in every aspect of their communities
• Increasing academic and innovative achievement
• Raising AIDS/HIV awareness, treatment and prevention
• Creating positive emerging leaders
• Promoting collaboration and alliance among all sectors of the community (businesses, educational institutions, legislative, community and faith-based organizations; and policymakers).

A portion of the funding for the MJF comes from Magic Johnson Enterprises, a business that fosters community and economic empowerment in ethnically diverse urban communities.

Please note that the MJF does not accept sponsorship requests or unsolicited requests of any kind.
