Travis Kelce's $1.5 million non-profit, the Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation, has come under scrutiny due to how its management spends donated funds. Between 2021 and 2024, the foundation raised over $1.5 million, but spent only about $1.1 million, with $446,000 allocated to charitable activities and $469,000 to management costs.
This means that around 41 cents of every dollar contributed went towards charity, falling short of benchmarks set by CharityWatch and Charity Navigator. The foundation's management company, A&A Management Group, co-founded by Kelce's business managers Aaron and André Eanes, serves as its executive director. CharityWatch's executive director, Laurie Styron, expressed concerns about the foundation operating more like an extension of the management company rather than an independent charity.
The Kelce team disputes the figures, claiming that some operational expenses were mistakenly classified under management instead of program services. They have since altered their reporting practices, eliminating management fees in 2025 and expanding their board, but there's no public confirmation that CharityWatch and The Arizona Republic's concerns have been fully addressed.
