What We Do

Created by New Jersey Nets' point guard, Jordan Farmar, the foundation focuses on helping children develop emotional and physical well-being, teamwork, tolerance, responsibility, and environmental awareness.

Jordan takes an active role in the Foundation's initiatives, not only in terms of time and resources, but also by using his position as a professional athlete and role model to gain media coverage for worthy causes.

The Jordan Farmar Foundation directs its resources at the following types of efforts:

• Programs that improve the health and emotional well-being of children particularly those afflicted by illness or disease.

• Programs that teach and inspire children to become environmentally conscious and show them to how to be more eco-friendly. 

• Teamwork-oriented programs that explicitly emphasize character-building as well as emotional and physical health.

• Programs that build bridges among children of different religious, socio economic or racial backgrounds.

• Programs that teach children how to prepare for and succeed in positions of responsibility.
