All of Michael Jackson's Charities
Michael Jackson was a true humanitarian. In his lifetime, he was listed in the 2000 edition of the Guiness Book of World Records for breaking the world record for the "Most Charities Supported by a Pop Star." He had supported 39 charities in which 36 known charities of Michael Jackson are listed on All Michael Jackson.com while the entire list of Michael Jackson's charities is available on MJFC web site. Michael cared--he truly cared about others. He was passionate about giving back. It is too bad that much of his charitable contributions took a backseat to negative publicity, whether true or not, that occurred in his life time.
For example, mostly everyone knows about "We Are the World" and the collaboration with 44 artists with the proceeds from this records donated to the starving people of Africa, but very few people know about his donation to Childhelp USA (the biggest charity-organization against child abuse), he equipped a 19-bed-unit to part of the T.J. Martell-Foundation for leukemia and cancer research, nor do many people know that Jackson hosted 200 Air Force families at his Neverland Ranch on October 12, 2002. It was a gesture of appreciation for men and women who served overseas. Please read: Charity. Not much was said about MJ's visit on Capitol Hill in 2004, the focus was mostly on his child molestation charges that were eventually dropped. It was a two-hour meeting to discuss using his celebrity to the fight against Aids in Africa. Read Michael Jackson Visits Capitol Hill and Fans Cheer Michael Jackson in Second Day on Capitol Hill.

Support Donors Choose
On behalf of Michael Jackson
Why did I choose this charity-organization because Michael did a lot with supporting education:
In 1987 - At the end of his Bad Tour, Michael donates some personal items to the UNESCO for a charitable auction. The proceeds will be for the education of children in developing countries.
In 1992 - Michael declared, "Black Colleges and Universities are breeding some of the leading personalities of our time. They are on top in business, justice, science and technologies, politics and religion. I am proud, that the Michael Jackson Scholarship Program enabled more than 200 young men and women to get a qualified education."
In 1997 - Michael waved his personal fee for his Bombay appearance and donated $1.1 million to a local charity helping to educate children living in slums.
In 2001 - Michael handed out books to young people at a Newark, NJ theater. The event, which helped to launch the Michael Jackson International Book Club, part of his new Heal the Kids charity, aims to promote childhood reading and encourage parents to return to reading bedtime stories

On Michael Jackson's Charities Feedback
"In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love and work hard. Work like there's no tomorrow. Train. Strive. Really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it's books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it's yours. That's what I've always tried to remember." (Michael Jackson)
