JUST ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES AGO: Indiana Hoosiers’ Trey Galloway Donates $2.8 Million to Charity and Homelessness Support
In a stunning and heartfelt gesture that transcends the game of basketball, Indiana Hoosiers men’s basketball standout Trey Galloway has just pledged $2.8 million of his bonus and endorsement earnings to charitable causes, with a significant portion earmarked for homelessness support initiatives.
Galloway, a rising star in the NCAA and a fan favorite for his gritty play and leadership on the court, made the announcement through a brief statement and social media post earlier today. The donation, which includes funds from a recent endorsement deal and performance bonuses, is one of the most generous contributions by a current collegiate athlete in recent memory.
A Commitment to Community
In his statement, Galloway emphasized that giving back has always been central to his values. “Basketball has given me a platform and blessings I never imagined. It’s only right that I use it to uplift others — especially those struggling with basic needs like shelter and food,” he said.
He added that part of the $2.8 million will be distributed among several Indiana-based organizations focused on youth programs, mental health resources, and housing stability. A substantial portion is being directed to transitional housing programs and shelters in Bloomington and Indianapolis.
Leading By Example
The donation has sparked widespread praise across the sports world, with coaches, teammates, and fans applauding Galloway for his humility and heart.
Indiana head coach Mike Woodson commented, “Trey is the kind of young man every coach dreams of leading. His commitment to others off the court mirrors the selflessness he shows on it. This is a proud day for the program.”
NIL Impact Used for Good
As Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals continue to transform the college sports landscape, Galloway’s move is being seen as a powerful example of how athletes can leverage their growing platforms to enact real social change.
“This isn’t about the spotlight,” Galloway said. “It’s about making sure the light shines on people who need it the most.”
For Hoosier fans, this is just another reason to root for No. 32 — not just for what he does on the hardwood, but for who he is when the buzzer sounds.
