Jordan also said to research non-profits working in the relief and recovery efforts and give his funds where the money “will have the most impact.”
“The Bahamian people are strong and resilient and I hope that my donation will be of help as they work to recover from this catastrophic storm.”
After Hurricane Florence last year, the former Chicago Bulls star also gave a $2 million donation to support North Carolina.
