BREAKING NEWS: Luka Dončić Donates Over $4.6 Million to Transform 6 Sports Facilities Across Slovenia and Dallas
In a heartfelt move that underscores his commitment to youth and community development, NBA superstar Luka Dončić has donated over $4.6 million to fund the transformation of youth sports facilities in both Slovenia—his home country—and Dallas, where he plays professionally for the Mavericks.
The donation will go toward renovating basketball courts, providing state-of-the-art training equipment, and expanding access to sports programs for underprivileged children. The initiative, spearheaded through his Luka Dončić Foundation, aims to empower the next generation of athletes and inspire a culture of health, teamwork, and perseverance.
“I’ve always believed that sports can change lives,” Dončić said in a statement. “This is about giving kids the same opportunities I had growing up—access to the right environment, equipment, and support. I want every child to dream big, no matter where they come from.”
The news has been met with overwhelming praise from both fans and fellow athletes. Community leaders in Slovenia and Dallas highlighted the transformative impact the funding could have, particularly in underserved areas where resources are scarce.
This is not Dončić’s first foray into philanthropy. In previous years, he has donated to hospitals, supported children battling serious illnesses, and participated in various community-driven initiatives.
The Luka Dončić Foundation confirmed that construction and renovations are set to begin this summer, with some facilities expected to open by early 2026.
As Dončić continues to dominate on the court, it’s clear he’s just as focused on making a lasting impact off of it—proving that true greatness is measured not only in points and assists, but in the lives you touch.
