The Standard

Unmatched Generosity

Michael Jackson set the global standard for celebrity philanthropy, donating over $500 million throughout his lifetime. He holds the Guinness World Record for "Most Charities Supported by a Pop Star," officially credited with 39 organizations, though his quiet and anonymous contributions reached even further.

Continuing the Mission

  • Pioneering Foundations Michael's legacy continues through support for organizations like Big Brothers of Greater Los Angeles, dedicated to mentoring and empowering disadvantaged youth to reach their full potential.
  • Global Relief He airlifted 47 tons of medical supplies to war-torn Sarajevo, delivered 60,000 vaccines to Georgia, and funded life-saving surgeries for children in need.
  • Unity Through Music From co-writing "We Are The World" to organizing the "United We Stand" benefit for 9/11 victims, his art was always a vehicle for humanitarian action.

"Friends of MJ is proud to carry this torch forward, ensuring that the mission Michael Jackson started continues to heal and inspire through every event we lead."
