About Us

Our Purpose

Our Appreciation

Your Support

The Marcus J. Bradshaw Foundation (MJBF) is a Federal 501(c)(3) organization established in February 2017 to honor the memory of Marcus John Bradshaw, and to assist underserved, Chicagoland  students with demonstrated academic promise, who are in need of financial assistance to attend college. The MJBF Scholarship is open to all students regardless of race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Our primary fundraiser to support the scholarships is the annual MJB Golf Classic, which culminates in our Scholarship Luncheon, hosted to honor our Scholarship Recipients and their families.

Our Appreciation

Your Support

Due to our invaluable volunteers and generous donors, within five months of the establishment of the Marcus J. Bradshaw Foundation, we were able to award six $2500 scholarships to Chicago area graduating seniors with demonstrated academic promise and community service.  We would be honored if you would consider a donation of your time, talent and skills to support us in our efforts to assist youth as they seek to fulfill their educational goals and become contributory citizens of our nation and the world. Or, support us through your monetary donation, no matter what amount.  Thank you for your kind consideration.
