Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are marking one of the potentially biggest weeks of their relationship with a major philanthropic effort.Ahead of their expected wedding at New York's Madison Square Garden on Friday, the couple donated a combined $26 million to 20 local and national charities, according to Swift's publicist.The gifts were spread across organizations tied to places that have shaped their lives, from New York to Kansas City and Rhode Island.Nine of the nonprofits are based in New York, where the couple is expected to marry, including food relief organizations Food Bank For NYC and City Harvest, as well as Musical Mentors, which connects students with music teachers.Other recipients include the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, reflecting Swift's ties to Watch Hill, and Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, where Kelce has spent his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs.National organizations such as Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, Feeding America, and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals also received donations. The amount awarded to each group was not disclosed.The donations continue a pattern of philanthropy from both stars. Swift has previously made multimillion-dollar gifts to food banks during her Eras Tour and has supported causes ranging from disaster relief to education. Kelce has long backed youth-focused initiatives through his foundation and has been recognized by the Chiefs for his charitable work.
