Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are feeling generous ahead of their rumored N.Y.C. wedding.
The superstar couple is expected to marry at Madison Square Garden in the Big Apple ahead of the July 4 holiday weekend, and a rep for Swift tells PEOPLE they've made a staggering $26 million donation to various organizations "this week."
Among the organizations receiving donations from Swift and Kelce are City Harvest, the Food Bank for N.Y.C., New York Cares, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Harvesters in Kansas City, Brad Paisley and Kimberly Paisley's The Store in Nashville, Helping Harvest in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island Community Food Bank, Feeding America, ASPCA, Grammy in the Schools and Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

Swift and Kelce also donated to Education Through Music, Answer the Call, Musical Mentors, After-School All-Stars (in both New York and Cleveland), MSK (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) Kids, Hassenfeld Children's Hosipal at NYU Langone and Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
The 14-time Grammy winner and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end got engaged in August 2025, nearly two years after the pair confirmed their relationship in October 2023.
"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," wrote the couple in a joint Instagram post announcing their engagement news.
Earlier this week, sources told PEOPLE that Madison Square Garden has been "transformed" in the days leading up to Swift and Kelce's rumored wedding.

On Monday, June 29, multiple trucks were spotted outside the famous arena with workers loading equipment, grass and other decorations inside. Boxes labeled "Garden Party" and "Mirror Ball" have been spotted outside the venue.
One source told PEOPLE they've "never seen" Madison Square Garden "look so different."

Last week, The New York Timesreported Swift rented the arena for a multi-day event. A City Hall representative also confirmed to PEOPLE that a permit was filed through the City Street Activity Office to shut down the surrounding area.
Kelce and Swift's plans, according to The New York Times, allegedly include a smaller gathering of about 100 people on July 2, as well as a larger celebration with around 1,000 guests on July 3.
In a recent interview with ExtraTV at the Tight Ends & Friends Concert Presented by Sports Illustrated and Reese's in Nashville, the famous couple's friend (and San Francisco 49ers tight end) George Kittle revealed one rule the couple's imposed about the celebration.
"They said absolutely no gifts," said Kittle. "But I was thinking, Travis, for some reason, really likes old coins, so I might get him an old coin."
