Travis Kelce charity foundation’s $1.5 million funding faces scrutiny as records show less than 50% spent on charity, $469,000 reported as management expenses

NFL star Travis Kelce’s charitable work has come under fresh scrutiny after tax filings from his nonprofit, Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation, raised questions about how its money was allocated. The foundation reported raising around $1.5 million between 2021 and 2024, but federal tax records reviewed by The Arizona Republic showed a relatively small share of that amount was classified as charitable spending.

The figures have prompted questions about the foundation’s financial structure and its links to the business managers who work with Kelce.
