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.

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!
