SOCIAL IMPACT INITIATIVE
®
The 'All New' Mickey Mouse Club debuted in 1989 promoting diversity & inclusion, youth arts & education, concern for the environment, and the importance of socially conscious entrepreneurship.
Co-founded by reunited Mouseketeers, MMC'89 is an initiative of Always In The Club Foundation (a 501c3 nonprofit). We promote a wide range of philanthropic causes and socially conscious efforts such as the UN's Sustainable Development Goals for a better world by 2030.
The Global Goals address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. The 17 Goals are all interconnected, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030.
WHAT WE DO
Since 1989, the cast of The 'All New' Mickey Mouse Club has leveraged their global influence and multi-media platforms for socially conscious efforts that work to move humanity forward, and have helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for nonprofits around the world.
MMC'89 is comprised of nonprofit projects and events spearheaded by reunited cast members featuring global leaders in government, business and the arts who amplify important causes across a wide range of issues, including the promotion of diversity & inclusion, youth arts and education, socially conscious entrepreneurship, responsible consumption and production, feeding the hungry, and supporting women and children in need.

Youth Arts Education
& Mentoring
Inspired by the training they received from Disney in their youth, Mouseketeers are supporting the next generation of artists with training and mentorship programs that not only help young people pursue careers in entertainment, but will also improve their academic performance, relationships, and overall well-being.
Global Goals 3, 4 & 8
Cast Member Pantry
Groceries for Those in Need
Once a cast member... always a cast member. And no cast member goes hungry! We support CMP that provides groceries and other food essentials to former and existing cast members facing financial hardship. Launched at the height of COVID, Cast Member Pantry has served more than 10,000 cast members in their times of need.
Global Goals 2 & 17
Veterans, First Responders
& Healthcare Workers
We empower veterans, first responders and their families through community and collaboration. We also helped launch a campaign with Orlando Bloom to reduce the stigma around mental health issues among veterans. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, we helped get 14 million units of PPE to those who needed it most.
