This was the charity organisation founded by the legendary pop star himself. The foundation came into being in 1992, and it spawned the creation of an all-time classic that goes by the same name. He names the foundation after the song,’ Heal the World.’

Through his work at the foundation, MJ airdropped 46 tons of supplies to Sarajevo. He also set up a trust for less fortunate children, a trust worth millions of dollars. Asides from that, he helped to battle drug and alcohol abuse, paid the medical bills of some children.

Essentially, the charity foundation’s aim was to make available food and medicine to children to help them combat hunger, abuse, exploitation, and homelessness, etc. The foundation also had some of the less privileged kids brought to Michael Jackson’s ranch, situated in California. They went on park rides and so many other fun adventures.

Frankly speaking, there was so much more history as regards Michael Jackson’s work than highlighted here. He gave out his time and money privately, so he did not document most of his charitable works. He gave out nothing less than 300 million dollars to charity during his lifetime. Still, the undocumented figure would be much more, so he would have touched millions of lives than what has been accounted for.

However, in 2002, the charity lost its status due to its failure to file accounting statements yearly. During this time, another organisation upstaged them and incorporated them under the same name applied for tax-exempt status in 2008. Of course, Michael Jackson’s estate took legal action in 2009 and sued the organisation for infringement on trademark and unfair competition. Asides from that, the foundation helped and touched so many lives.
