Areas of Interest


The Magic Johnson Foundation is particularly interested in supporting grants which fund the following priority:

  • Educational programs relating to HIV/AIDS (workshops, seminars, focus groups) that will result in community benefits.
  • Programs, which provide educational facilities to children and youth in, underserved areas.
  • Innovative approaches which seek to enable underserved youth to overcome barriers to healthy and productive lives.
  • Faith-based education and prevention programs addressing HIV/AIDS.
  • Programs that strive toward a mission similar to that of the Magic Johnson Foundation.
