In just the past few years, The Magic
Johnson Foundation, founded by Johnson in
1991, has awarded more than $1 million to
community-based organizations that focus on
HIV/AIDS education and prevention. At the
same time, the organization has supported
more than 800 minority high school students
with college scholarships and opened 20
Magic Johnson Community Empowerment Centers
located in underserved communities.
The
Magic Johnson Foundation develops programs
that address the educational, health and
social needs of ethnically diverse, urban
communities.
