Question
Hello Mr. Kurt,

Hope all is well I have some question about Michael Jackson's Heal the World Foundation? He was the founder of that foundation correct? Also is it still standing if so where is it located? Are there any other Foundations that he founded?

Answer
Yes Heal the World foundation is still going, but in 2002 it went down.. but in 2008 it came back, with a new organization but with no Michael this time.

The Heal The World Foundation as it was when it started doesn't exist anymore.

They have a new board now and retain the HTW name, but their activities have been reported recently as being potentially dodgy.

-------EDIT-------

Yes, he was a part of many others as well. The Heal The Kids with the Rabbi who stole from it.

And Heal LA initiative with Jimmy Carter.

MJ was a part of too many charities at one time or another to specifically mention, but Make A Wish Foundation was one he was very active with.
