Randy's daughter Genevieve and Teddy Riley's daughter Deja Riley are forming a charity foundation to help empower teenage girls. They are looking for help to start up there foundation at Indiegogo.com. They are looking for 11,000.00 to start up. they have a website if you check Deja Riley and Realgenevieve jackson twitter acct. I would advise you to first go to indegogo.com and hit learn ,to learn about the website first. It seems legit jut the logo bothers me. THE WORLDS FUNDING PLATFORM. GO FUND YOURSELF.
 
^^Maybe you should be careful. Charities have to be set up in a specific way in the US, and I hope all regulations are in place with this one. Then what they are going to do needs to be disclosed, e.g., how exactly are they going to empower teenagers? Are they going to give money to teens to learn specific trades? Empowering is a blanket statement. I am hoping that the new generation of Jacksons are not continuing this charity scheme where money can be taken from the charity for personal use. I suggest they use their own 11,000 to start up and then ask the public for funding to augment their initial contribution.

Further, the Jackson uncles just finished a successful US tour and could donate 5,000 a piece to help this very worthy cause. Let them twitter these uncles. After all close knit families should help each other out.

Petra, are you ok?
 
The only Jackson I trusted involved in ANY charities was Michael. So thanks but, NO thanks! And what's goin on with Genevieve's "singing" career? I guest she opt for other options now?

^^That is what is making the whole thing dangerous. When charity building replaces a singing career it is time to put on the ALERT ALERT caps.
 
So far they got no donations and it doesn't surprise me at all. As somebody already mentioned, Jackson's (excluding Michael) doesn't have the best track record what comes to charity, unless they themselves are THE charity target.

Here is the link to their website for more info:

What We Need

Form 1023 501(c)3: $800
Open Business Bank Account: $200
Thanksgiving (feeding homeless): $2,000
Launch Event venue: $5,000
Launch Event expenses: 3,000

They are for great start! Launching event venue and expenses takes 8 thousand of that 11 thousand they need, feeding homeless 2 thousand, glad to see they have their priorities right.

Interesting that Genevieve fell out with Paris during granny-napping, but now Genevieve is tweeting them reuniting.
She knows with side of the bread butter is and she'd better stay Paris' friend.

^Oh yeah, bet a little promotion from Paris will attract some donations. With most of the Jacksons, charity begins at home. I hope no one falls for this...
 
Two questions:
1.) If their own parents and the high profile contacts they have made via their parents haven't contributed to this endeavor why should anyone else have trust to do so?
2.) How can they help young people achieve their dreams of careers in the entertainment business when they haven't achieved anything for themselves?
 
Just because she and Paris are getting along better now if that is true doesn't mean Paris has to trust her. It just means you get along and there is no tension between people. She should still keep her guard up.

Agree about the priorities. You would think with their connections and 'get up and go' they could at least persuade someone to donate a 'free' launch venue....how long is this launch party going to last, a week? What about launching a charity in the open air ? At least they are more likely as 'names with connections' to be able to attract media coverage, regardless of the venue. They need to start 'thinking outside the box'...or maybe just 'thinking'.

Deja Riley is a dancer she has auditions and jobs. Genevieve is trying to be a hostess on a television show. She is trying for Dancing with the Stars.
 
Well I hope Michael's children begin to think carefully of ventures before they lend their names to it or even donate. In fact, everyone really should look into organizations before they donate. It just makes sense.

Let's see how much Janet will give, or even grandma and grandpa.

It's a lot of money for a launch party. Maybe they're hoping their guests will contribute & they'll end up making more money. But regardless, How is it that they are not putting some of their own money? They have to have something. I hope when their charity is set up they don't end up taking money for their salaries.

Pug posted valid question. How can they help other youngsters to achieve anything if they haven't achieved their own dreams?
I would think if they want to help others to find a path to their dreams, they have to have their own path clear.
By looking the amount they are going to be spending on launch even and party, it looks like they just want someone else to pay their very expensive party.

Jermaine once said:“I find myself in a Catch-22 situation where while I need money, I also need to be very cognizant of what employment I do undertake so as not to degrade my market value and ability to obtain legitimate work in the future.”

I think this kind of attitude runs in some family members, thus they don't even try to do any other kind of job outside of entertainment. Of course, they can try, but there comes a time when they have realise, there are million of others trying to do the same and wanting to be stars, but very few will be successful. Genevieve among few others from Jackson family are heading the same directions as some of Michael's brothers, waiting for their big break which never come and they are too old to start doing something else.


If Genevieve is trying for Dancing with Stars, shouldn't she be some sort of "star" to beginning with?
Just because her last name is Jackson, doesn't mean she is a star. How they are going to introduce her? Genevieve Jackson, daughter of Randy Jackson, and niece of Michael Jackson?
 
There are a lot of people who were big stars on stage, tv and movies at one time. But then they do other things even if it looks smaller than what they did before. It doesn't devalue them at all and it shows that they made a different life for themselves and they are happy too. If one the Jacksons kids wanted to be a lawyer or a teacher or architect or anything else it would a good thing. You don't have to be a star on the stage to make a difference in the world. It's like everyone in the Jacksons are expected to be in the entertainment business and I don't think that has to be the case at all.
 
Was thinking about the 20% for charity from Michael's estate. I hope i'm wrong, but that Katherine can have an input in the selection of the charity? If so, can this be a way for the Jacksons to get money from the estate? So far, these two girls priorities are the launcheon party, maybe they're counting on contributions but I don't think it's a good start.

Anyway my question again, does Katherine has any saying about choosing the charity org?

^^I remember when Katherine was crying about wanting to be part of the decision making in the estate, they did make some comment about having her input in their plans for potential charities. What I got from that was that they may ask her if such and such a charity would be something Michael would like and maybe have her say something about it, but definitely not handling money for the charity.
 
If I remember correctly, Katherine has say which charity receives money, but I don't think Genevieve's charity will qualify as Michael wanted (it is written in his will/trust) 20% to go children's charity. When they start up a children's charity, then we need to get worried.
I don't know what was the plan with Katherine joining to fake HTWF, was there a plan in place that she would try to get some of that 20% directed to that fake charity.
 
On Genevieve twitter page (realgenevievejackson) I communicated with @letsgochangethe world, I asked what they felt about the charity and they replied that they was going to help out on the back end of the charity and give donations if needed. What does help out on the back end mean? bring napkins?

The Estate would probably go with Katherine's decision about a charity in order to keep peace with the family. What better way for the grandcubs to ensure salaries for themselves from Michael's estate. I would not be surprised if "Administrative costs" took up most of the charities finances.
 
As i understood it, mrs j does have a formal role in the choosing of the charities, along with the 2 executors, so not a majority vote. I'm assuming the charities percentage has to wait until the will is out of probate so the inevitable jackson v estate conflict as to where the money is going will happen then.

As bubs pointed out, randy already had his eye on that 20% with all the resestting up of the htwf. The charity that seemed to spend nearly all its money on buying up mj trademarks and marketing neverland underwear.

More so than ever, the estate knows grandma's intentions towards Michael's charity money. They know grandma's and all the siblings intentions about the estate money, so they are NOT going to allow any of them to divert the funds of the legit charity. Neither are they going to allow them to handle the money. Further, if they forgot what the Jacksons are all about, they simple need to look at their letter writing/tweeting campaign & actions especially during the summer.
 
^^Hope you're right. I think the executors are doing an excellent job but I also think they bend a little too much for Katherine. Hope the charity they decide to donate it's a well established charity and not a family one.
 
^ It would be nice if the charity was one in mj's name set up by the estate, rather than donating to already established ones. Every d-list sleb seems to have set up their own foundation or charity, so it would have been fitting for mj's money to go into one established in his name, esp as we're talking major amounts of money over a long period of time (i don't think it's a one-off payment, i assume it's out of annual income into the estate).
 
^^A charity with Michael's name will be perfect. Hope the executors think about that. A charity org with Michael's name, established with his own money and designated to help children. That'll be something Michael might like. Remember the recording, he wanted to build a children's hospital. The org they choose should be one that help children. that was Michael's wish, to help children.
 
I just went into the website to have a quick look at how the fundraising is doing.

So far they have raised zilch.

Maybe it is time for them to ask family members to cough up!
