Michael Jordan philanthropy in North Carolina
Overview
Michael Jordan has engaged in significant philanthropic efforts in North Carolina, focusing on healthcare and social services.
Initially, Jordan donated over $17 million to Novant Health to establish and operate four medical clinics. This initiative, which began in 2017, expanded from two clinics in Charlotte to two additional facilities in Wilmington, providing primary, preventive, and mental health care to vulnerable populations.
Following these healthcare investments, Jordan committed $10 million to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Social Work. This donation, the largest in the school’s history, honors his mother, Deloris P. Jordan. The funds are designated to expand the Global Social Development Innovations Center—to be renamed the Deloris P. Jordan Global Social Development Innovations Center—support the Jordan Institute for Families, and establish the Jordan Family Scholars program for Master of Social Work students. The gift also funds a global research symposium on youth development and social work innovations.
