ABOUT US
INTRODUCTION
In a world often defined by challenges and where disparities often hold back potential, The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation (TMJF) stands tall as a force for positive change. In 2010, the seeds of positive change were sown with the birth of The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation (TMJF). Founded by NFL 2xm Super Bowl Champion and passionate philanthropist, Malcolm Jenkins, the 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity is dedicated to nurturing the potential of youth in underserved communities and committed to fostering positive change through education, advocacy and empowerment.
Inspired by Malcolm Jenkins' life journey and the profound influence of his mentors, the foundation was established to ‘pay forward’ the support he received.
