Travis Kelce's foundation announces $800,000 commitment to communities.

Eighty-Seven & Running has committed $800,000 to community programs over the next three years, and foundation leaders say earlier tax filings miscategorized expenses and did not fully reflect program spending.

Travis Kelce's charity, Eighty-Seven & Running, announced a commitment of $800,000 to the communities it serves over the next three years. The announcement came as the foundation faced scrutiny after a review of federal tax filings from 2021 to 2024. That review reported a low share of dollars going to direct charity and noted governance questions about board size. Kelce also won the fan-voted Walter Payton Man of the Year "Charity Challenge," which will add a $35,000 donation to a charity of his choice. What is known: - A source close to Kelce told People that Eighty-Seven & Running has committed $800,000 to community programs to be deployed over the next three years. - The Arizona Republic reported that federal tax records from 2021–2024 showed about 41 cents of every dollar going to charity and that the foundation listed just two board members, below the commonly recommended minimum of three. - CharityWatch said efficient nonprofits typically spend at least 70 cents of every dollar on charity, and a representative expressed concerns about the foundation's governance and independence from business interests. - Aaron Eanes, Kelce's business manager and the foundation's executive director, told outlets that filing errors miscategorized expenses, that management fees decreased in 2024 and dropped to zero in 2025, and that management costs did not go into the management firm's bank account but covered operational infrastructure. - People and the foundation's statements said some program expenses were grouped under a single line item on Form 990 filings, and that the $800,000 commitment will not appear on current filings until funds are deployed. Summary: The foundation says past tax filings did not fully reflect program spending and that reporting and governance changes have been made, including plans to expand the board and bring in nonprofit advisers. The $800,000 commitment will be deployed over three years and is expected to appear in future filings as funds are used; the Walter Payton Man of the Year process continues ahead of next month's award announcement.
