THE JAMES BROWN FAMILY FOUNDATION
For many years now, we have continued to build upon our father's legacy of giving in many communities around the country. The James Brown Family Foundation, Inc is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2007 for charitable and educational purposes. Our father, founded the Annual James Brown Turkey and Toy Giveaways. These events assisted underprivileged children and impoverished families. It is in accordance with his wishes that we continue to bring hope and fulfillment to even more families in need. The children of James Brown are dedicated to honoring our father's memory. JBFF organizes and manages those two main events and have established other annual giving programs. About J.A.M.P. is a Musical, instrumental, initiative year-round hub designed for the youth to discover their musical ability to “Staying on the Good Foot.” Founder Deanna Brown-Thomas, daughter of the Late “Godfather of Soul” collaborated with various educational consultants and music educators across the country to form this awesome melodic, educational academy. Headquartered in Augusta, Georgia— the stomping grounds to the Late James Brown, the hardest-working man in the business— J.A.M.P! is a non-profit musical village that operates solely on small grants, donations and tuition. J.A.M.P!’s intentions are to motivate, educate and inspire children through the universal language of music and enrich their hidden musical abilities. THE JAMES BROWN FAMILY HISTORICAL TOUR
