Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated $26 million to charities this week ahead of their wedding at Madison Square Garden.

The donations were spread out across 20 local and national charities, according to Swift’s publicist, with many located in areas where the couple has deep ties. Nine of the selected organizations are based in New York, where the two are expected to tie the knot on Friday. The selected groups include food pantries like Food Bank For NYC and City Harvest, and Musical Mentors, a nonprofit that connects music teachers with students in need.

Other charities reflected where Swift and Kelce have also called home, including the Rhode Island Community Food Bank — as Swift owns an estate in Watch Hill — and the Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri — where Kelce plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.

A handful of national groups also received money: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a book giveaway program spearheaded by the music legend; the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Feeding America.
