The Jalen Rose Foundation

The Jalen Rose Foundation was
established by NBA star and Phoenix
Sun's Guard Jalen Rose to create
life-changing opportunities for underserved
youth through the development of unique
programs and the distribution of grants to
qualified nonprofit organizations. Grants
focus on sports and education and are
distributed in Jalen's hometown of Detroit
as well as his current NBA home.

Primarily funded through generous
donations from Jalen, JRF has distributed
nearly $1 million to charities. Most recently
JRF awarded a $100,000 grant to the
Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital and
Research Center in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. In addition to
supporting the endowment of a scholarship
at the University of Michigan, the foundation
distributes 5 four-year scholarships
annually to Detroit high school seniors. JRF
received more than 230 applications this
year from qualified Detroit high school
seniors looking for financial assistance.

The foundation welcomes individual
donations and corporate sponsors so that
we can enhance our scholarship program.
Every young man and woman deserves
access to a college education!
