Ja Morant Donates \$10 Million to Homeless Shelter, Marks Major Milestone in Community Giving
Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant has once again proven he’s more than just a force on the court. In a heartwarming and impactful move, Morant has donated a staggering \$10 million to a homeless shelter in Memphis, marking one of the largest single donations by an NBA player in recent years.
The donation will go toward expanding services at the *Memphis Hope Shelter*, which currently provides housing, meals, mental health support, and job assistance to hundreds of people experiencing homelessness each year. With Morant’s contribution, the shelter plans to build a new facility, add 200 more beds, and launch a youth program aimed at helping homeless teens find stability.
“This city has embraced me since day one,” Morant said in a statement. “Giving back to the community that supports me means everything. No one should have to sleep on the streets, especially not in a city as full of love and potential as Memphis.”
Fans and city officials praised Morant’s generosity, with Mayor Paul Young calling the donation “a game-changer for the people who need it most.”
Ja Morant, known for his electrifying plays and leadership on the court, has been actively involved in community efforts since joining the Grizzlies. This latest gesture highlights his growing legacy not only as a basketball icon but also as a philanthropist committed to making a lasting difference.
With the upcoming NBA season around the corner, Morant’s gift is sure to inspire both fans and fellow athletes to use their platforms for good. As Memphis continues to rally behind its star player, one thing is clear — Ja Morant’s impact stretches far beyond basketball.
