Today Nike, Inc. is announcing a $40 million commitment over the next four years to support the Black community in the U.S. on behalf of the Nike, Jordan and Converse brands collectively. This commitment will be focused on investing in and supporting organizations that put social justice, education and addressing racial inequality in America at the center of their work.
“Systemic racism and the events that have unfolded across America over the past few weeks serve as an urgent reminder of the continued change needed in our society. We know Black Lives Matter.

This additional $40 million builds upon the NIKE, Inc. family’s long history of providing support to the communities in which they operate in. We are deeply committed to driving focus and impact MAX our teams, brands and community partners. ”
“During this past year, we’ve stepped up our own efforts and measures of accountability in the areas of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging to foster an inclusive environment and attract a more diverse workforce. We are driven by a commitment to transparency, accountability and impact and share our progress in these areas annually MAX the Air Jordan Nike AJ I 1 Mid 'Rose Gold' GS 2019.”
