The Jordan Brand Black Community Commitment

2021 COMMUNITY GRANT RECIPIENTS

Jordan Brand is of and by the Black Community. Bigger than one man, whose will and work redefined the meaning of greatness. Bigger than the basketball court, where generations of dreams have taken flight. Bigger than any struggle, any obstacle, any fight. The fight for equal opportunity and equal justice is ours.

At the the heart of the 10-year, $100 million Black Community Commitment, announced by Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand in 2020, is a desire to take action where it is needed most.
