Jackie Robinson Foundation View Charity Profile

The Jackie Robinson Foundation (JRF) is a public, not-for-profit national organization founded by Rachel Robinson in 1973 as a vehicle to perpetuate the memory of Jackie Robinson and his achievements. Serving as an advocate for young people with the greatest need, the Foundation assists increasing numbers of minority youths through the granting of four-year scholarships for higher education.

The Jackie Robinson Foundation provides much more than financial support. While each Jackie Robinson Scholar receives up to $7,500 a year in financial support, they also become an active member in the Foundation’s unique Education and Leadership Development Program, which is an extensive mentoring program that includes attendance at workshops, assignment of a peer and a professional mentor and placement into summer internships and permanent employment.

Jackie Robinson Foundation Donation Information

Now is the time to put our support behind America’s young achievers. Their wisdom and conscience will define our future. Each year, the Jackie Robinson Foundation receives more than 4,000 applications from students across the country. At current funding levels, JRF can support 60 new Scholars annually. With 84 cents of every dollar being spent directly on JRF Scholars through scholarships and education and leadership development support programs, a gift to the Jackie Robinson Foundation is a prudent investment in developing tomorrow’s leaders. JRF supports individuals who will continue to excel, who will continue to succeed, and who will continue the Jackie Robinson legacy. With your help, JRF Scholars will continue to rise to the needs and challenges of society.
