The Kevin Durant Charity Foundation has announced a $10 million donation to College Track in order to expand the organization’s college completion program to Durant’s hometown of Prince George’s County, Maryland.

The funds will be used to build the Durant Center, an educational and leadership facility that will house College Track’s comprehensive ten-year program that helps students from underserved communities overcome barriers to college attainment and prepares them to succeed in the twenty-first century economy. In the autumn of 2018, College Track @ The Durant Center will welcome its first class from adjacent Suitland High School. Students who enroll in the program, according to the group, graduate from college at a rate that is more than double the national average for low-income and first-generation students.

College Track, founded in 1997 by philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs and entrepreneur Carlos Watson, prepares high school students for the academic, financial, and socioemotional demands of college, then supports them throughout their college years. The Durant Center is the organization’s first facility on the East Coast; further venues in the Washington, D.C., metro region are scheduled to open by 2021. The Kevin Durant Charity Foundation, founded in 2013, is dedicated to improve the lives of low-income adolescents via education, athletics, and social initiatives.

“This is the realization of a dream of mine,” said Durant, who won the NBA Championship Finals MVP award last season. “To come back home and positively impact the lives of kids — who share the ambitions I’ve always had — with world-class educational opportunities and resources that can completely change the game in our community for generations to come.”
