Jackie Robinson Foundation
The Jackie Robinson Foundation (JRF) is a public, not-for-profit, national organization founded in 1973 as a vehicle to perpetuate the memory of Jackie Robinson and his heroic achievements. It provides college and graduate school scholarships as well as leadership development opportunities for students of color with strong capabilities but limited financial resources. The Foundation is distinctive for the depth of its mentoring program, which results in a nearly 100% graduation rate among its student constituents.
The Foundation also strives to ensure that Jackie Robinson's commitment to social justice will be carried forth in the lives of these young people as they assume leadership roles throughout society.
Jackie Robinson Foundation at a Glance
With the generous financial support of companies like BMO Capital Markets, the Jackie Robinson Foundation is able to provide four-year college scholarships to students who demonstrate academic distinction, leadership capacity and financial need. In addition, BMO supports the JRF's overall mission and comprehensive set of support services including extensive mentoring, career guidance and practical life skills. JRF's innovative approach has rapidly become a national paradigm in minority higher education intervention. Recognizing that students need far more than money in order to reach their full potential as leaders, BMO has been a major sponsor of Networking Weekend, the cornerstone of the Education and Leadership Development Program, since 2004.
Since 2005, BMO Capital Markets has sponsored nine JRF/BMO Capital Markets Scholars. This fall, JRF will be welcoming two new JRF/BMO Capital Markets Scholars, supported by the proceeds from the 2010 Equity Through Education day of trading.

Education and Leadership Development Program (ELDP)
The Jackie Robinson Foundation's Education and Leadership Development Program (ELDP) is a multifaceted program designed not only to address the financial needs of minority students who aspire to attend college, but to guide them through the process, molding these young people into highly sought-after future leaders. Extensive mentoring, career guidance, internship placement, networking and support supplement financial assistance for those entering college, increasing their odds of graduating and making them far more desirable for employment.
Every scholar benefits from:
The Extra Innings Graduate Fellowship program was established to help JRF Scholars with the cost of advanced professional and/or graduate training. Qualified JRF Fellows are allotted up to $10,000 yearly for graduate studies for a maximum of four years.
Rachel Robinson International Fellowship (RRIF)
RRIF was established to promote and support international internships, volunteer and study abroad opportunities for JRF Scholars. RRIF aims to provide Scholars, who would otherwise lack access, the ability to participate in meaningful programs internationally. The Foundation's goal is to instill the importance of giving back to their global family and becoming knowledgeable about issues and movements both inside and outside U.S. borders.
Networking Weekend
The cornerstone of the mentoring and leadership development of JRF Scholars is the Networking Weekend (NWW), held each spring in New York City. NWW consists of career panels, workshops, special sessions, cultural outings, and community service programs. The goal of this conference is to provide access to career and graduate school guidance, practical life skills training, and exposure to a leadership curriculum that will give our Scholars the tools to not only graduate, but ensure that they are prepared to achieve their fullest potential. All expenses of NWW for our Scholars, including travel and accommodation, are borne by the Jackie Robinson Foundation.
