also before it starts - from ur friendly public sector worker there are absolutely limits on how much you should reasonably give to one organization. for most public sector financing and accounting, someone writing a check for $50 million is actually more of a problem than it is a help because the org will not have the capacity to spend it but "saving" it is incredibly difficult and can be very complicated for medium to small organizations. it's a lot of accounting and weirdness and the org might not have the staff to even do that. it's also not great for building a sustainable budget, which is something that other funding orgs will be looking for when they go out for other grants, etc. that's why nonprofits you donate to will vastly prefer $5 a month over $100 at once - they can build a budget around a reliable $5 a month. they can't do that if they're just hoping and waiting for $100 at a time here and there. the best practice for giving a significant sum to an organization is to work with the organization and determine how much they can reasonably receive that will pass through an audit and support their budget and operations. that might be $100K, it might be $100M, but it's up to the org! massive amounts at once are usually not the best! demanding to know why someone doesn't give $100M at once just proves you don't know what you're talking about!
Also say what the fuck you what about how Taylor Swift should be taxed (she is taxed, they invented a whole ass tax for her in Rhode Island) and I agree she should be. But ON TOP OF THAT, every single one of these charities she and Travis just donated to is related to a place she lives or has lived. She is literally paying into her community! Directly!!
“iTs pErForMaTiVe” there is physically $26 million more dollars in the hands of people who need it like at what point does that adjective mean legitimately nothing
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated $26 million to charities, a rep announced, prior to their wedding.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated $26 million to at least 20 charities this week, a representative announced, in advance of a wedding reported to be taking place this weekend in New York.
The pair have still not officially acknowledged that nuptials are about to take place, and even the announcement of the charitable efforts does not mention the wedding, though it’s clear that the donations are part of this week’s celebrating.
The 20 charities include a number of food banks in different cities, educational programs and children’s hospitals or medical programs.
The announcement simply says, “This week, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift donated $26 million to charities across the United States. They include the following…”
The list of 20 is as follows:
City Harvest, New York City
Food Bank for NYC

once again i think a lot of people took folkmore and created a new version of taylor that doesn't exist and now they're upset that she's still in fact the huge whimsical theater dork she's always been since day one. she doesn't care about being edgy or cool, that's why we gravitated towards her in the first place lol
do you know what? it becomes really hard to take any of the discourse surrounding taylor’s wedding seriously when you realise the same people who have spent the past however many days calling it “gauche” and “tacky” would drop everything to be in attendance if they themselves received an invite
given that it has now been confirmed by the ASSOCIATED PRESS aka what we use to call political elections, will people give the decoy thing a rest now 😭
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will celebrate their wedding at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, according to a law enforcement official
nothing unexpected in here (did laugh at the detective saying they need to personally come out and thank every officer, and it’s telling and should be illustrative to fans that they’re extremely concerned about terrorism). with that said this should make people relax about the disruption
