Michael Jackson created the Heal the World Foundation, which gave to needy children around the world, provided relief during the war in Bosnia and funded and alcohol abuse education. Its Web site lists its mission as "trying to improve the condition of all mankind." A Chronicle of Philanthropy article lists the Make-a-Wish Foundation and Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation as Charities Michael Jackson also supported.
