The MJB Foundation

What The MJB Foundation does

The MJB Foundation is a private nonprofit charitable organization founded in 1994 by Jim and Annette Brochowski in memory of their daughter Meghan Joy Brochowski (2/5/1993 - 5/14/1994). Headquartered at 803 Spivey Lane, Galloway, Ohio, the foundation operates primarily in the Central Ohio region and is dedicated to supporting children with mental and physical challenges who lack access to necessary resources due to insufficient insurance coverage and bureaucratic funding limitations. Its mission is fulfilled by sponsoring recreational and educational activities, donating physical goods and services, and making monetary contributions to identified beneficiaries.

The foundation runs a portfolio of annual fundraising events, including Golf for Joy (its signature event, with the 30th annual scheduled for June 26, 2027), Bowl for Joy, Toss for Joy, and Sing for Joy, plus a Virtual Joy program for remote engagement. Direct beneficiary assistance is delivered through its "Gifts of Joy" program, which provides funding and physical goods such as adaptive bicycles, therapy equipment, special trays, and adaptive furniture. Beneficiaries are identified through partnerships with social-service organizations, most notably FCBDD (Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities), and donations are delivered personally by the founders.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations and event-based fundraising; no products or services are sold. Pricing consists of suggested donation tiers for event participation (e.g., $30 per bowler, $25 family and $50 business hole sponsorships, $10 Gold Golf Ball entry). The foundation relies on community participation, recurring corporate sponsors such as Kroger and AMS Pro Serv, and direct donations via PayPal through its website. The organization has no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, no disclosed headcount, and operates as a small, founder-led community charity.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Ronald McDonald House Charities: RMHC supports families of children with serious illnesses through housing and direct services. Comparable to MJB in serving children with health challenges and using community fundraising, but operates as a far larger multi-service national organization with corporate integration.
• National Children's Cancer Society: NCCS provides financial and emotional support to children with cancer through direct assistance programs. Comparable in mission and direct-assistance service delivery model, but operates as a much larger longer-established national organization with broader geographic reach.
• Easterseals: Easterseals is a much larger established national nonprofit providing disability services including therapy, mobility support, and camp programs. Comparable in mission (children with disabilities) but operates at far greater scale and service depth than MJB Foundation.
• Children's Miracle Network Hospitals: CMNH raises funds for children's hospitals through community and corporate partnerships and major event-based campaigns. Comparable in event-based fundraising and child-health mission but at a much larger national scale with hospital-system partnerships.

Direct peers

• Miracle League: Miracle League operates adaptive baseball leagues for children with disabilities. MJB Foundation already partners with the Central Ohio chapter, making this a near-perfect functional peer with shared beneficiary focus, sport-based community engagement, and event-driven fundraising.
• Kids Wish Network: Kids Wish Network grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses. Directly comparable to MJB in mission, gift-delivery model, and focus on children with significant challenges, with similar community and event-based donor activation.
• Variety - the Children's Charity: Variety provides adaptive equipment, mobility aids, and assistive technology to children with disabilities. Mirrors MJB's adaptive-equipment Gift of Joy model and the children-with-disabilities beneficiary segment almost exactly, with community fundraising events as the primary revenue engine.
• Special Olympics: Special Olympics provides sports training and competition for people with intellectual disabilities, funded by individual and corporate donations. Comparable to MJB in sport-based engagement of people with disabilities and reliance on community fundraising events, though at dramatically larger scale.
• Make-A-Wish Foundation: Make-A-Wish grants wishes to children with critical illnesses through direct, experience-based gifts funded by donations. Highly comparable to MJB in mission (direct impact on children with challenges) and model (donor-funded gifts delivered to identified beneficiaries).
• Starlight Children's Foundation: Starlight delivers programs, toys, and hospital-based services to seriously ill children through donor funding. Comparable in mission, gift-delivery model, and focus on children facing significant health or developmental challenges, with similar grassroots community fundraising tactics.
