Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce donate $26M to several charity on wedding week

 

     

This week, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce gave $26 million to a number of American charity.

The pair made the decision to give back significantly in the days preceding their much awaited wedding, which is scheduled for Friday at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Swift and Kelce, who reputedly have a combined net worth of $2.8 billion, donated to the Big Apple-based organizations City Harvest Food Rescue Center, Food Bank for NYC, New York Cares, Education Through Music, Answer the Call, Musical Mentors Collaborative, and After-School All-Stars New York.

“We are incredibly grateful for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s generous $1 million donation to City Harvest,” CEO Jilly Stephens told us, referring to the contribution as “a love letter” to New Yorkers at an especially “critical time.”

Meanwhile, Education Through Music CEO Janice Weinman revealed to us that the bride and groom gifted the organization a “transformational” $2 million.

“This gift will help us reach more students, support more music teachers and ensure that music remains a meaningful part of a child’s core education, especially in schools where access to the arts is too often limited,” Weinman said.

Additionally, Swift and Kelce gave money to Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone and MSK Kids for Child & Teen Cancer Patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

"The gift to MSK Kids is part of a broader philanthropic effort by Taylor and Travis, who are supporting multiple organizations in honor of their upcoming wedding  which makes their generosity even more meaningful," said Dr. Selwyn M. Vickers, president and CEO of MSK Kids, in a company-wide email announcing the $1 million donation.

"I am touched that they have decided to honor MSK at this happy time in their lives, and I am appreciative of their dedication to helping young cancer patients."

The pair also gave to the Children & Teen and Adolescents & Young Adult (AYA) programs at Children’s Mercy Hospital as well as Harvesters – The Community Food Network, both situated in Kansas City, Missouri, which holds a particular place in the Kansas City Chiefs player’s heart.

Notably, Kelce proposed to Swift in August 2025 in the backyard of his Leawood, Kansas, house — which borders Missouri, where he also owns a residence.

Given that the athlete was born and raised in Ohio, he and the pop sensation also contributed to After-School All-Stars Cleveland.

Additionally, the two donated to Helping Harvest in Reading, Pennsylvania, The Store in Nashville, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

Notably, Swift has residences in NYC, LA, Rhode Island and Nashville, where she got her musical start when she and her family moved from Pennsylvania.

“Incredibly grateful” Rhode Island Community Food Bank CEO Melissa Cherney disclosed to us that Swift and Kelce’s “unexpected gift” was to the tune of $1 million, which “will go a long way in helping [the organization] purchase and distribute the nutritious, culturally appropriate food that Rhode Islanders deserve.”

The 14-time Grammy winner and the three-time Super Bowl champ also donated to multiple nationwide charities, including Feeding America, the ASPCA, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and Grammy in the Schools.
