INDIANAPOLIS (February 27, 2024) – The MJ Foundation, the charitable arm of leading financial services firm, The MJ Companies, has released its 2024 annual Impact Report highlighting its efforts and community contributions from the previous year. The report highlights a year of continued growth and shared connection for the Foundation, with over $200,000 donated to non-profits across Indianapolis, Phoenix, and Denver. 

“At my core, I believe that, despite our busy lives, what truly brings us together is our shared Purpose and the belief that there are causes larger than ourselves,” said Michael H. Bill, CEO of The MJ Companies and Founder of the MJ Foundation. “Our Foundation proves that when we come together with intention, no challenge is too big to overcome. When we unite, we make a difference, and I feel so fortunate to lead an organization that believes in the power of coming together to make that difference.” 

The Foundation’s second grant cycle awarded grants to three non-profits in the Indianapolis, Phoenix and Denver communities, including Dayspring Center (Ind.), Saving Amy (Ariz.) and ActivateWork (Colo.). 

In addition to grant-making and facilitating community service projects for its associates, the MJ Foundation raised more than $130,000 from its annual fundraiser. These funds will be used to award grants and support local organizations in alignment with the four cornerstones of the MJ Foundation mission: overcoming poverty, advancing education, fostering diversity, and embracing humanity.  

“What is so special about our Foundation is that it’s 100% associate-led,” said MJ Foundation Executive Director Britni Shrout. “This commitment from our associates as well as our industry partners, donors, and clients is nothing short of remarkable.” 

The MJ Foundation will be hosting two annual fundraisers as well as launching its grant application process in summer 2025.
