To mark the partnership, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City and the Boys & Girls Club of Lubbock will each rename one facility after “15 and the Mahomies. The East Texas site, run through The Mentoring Alliance, will fund scholarships for up to 300 young people to attend every year. The foundation said it would give $1,500 for every touchdown Mahomes throws or scores in the 2023 regular season. A 30-touchdown year would add $45,000. A February 2024 item from a trade group said his foundation had given over $1 million to Operation Breakthrough. In 2020, it gave $26,000 to help the agency keep its doors open. In January 2026, Kelce became the first three-time winner of Nationwide’s Charity Challenge, which earned $35,000 for the Ignition Lab. His foundation also gave $100,000 to the Reyes family after the 2024 Super Bowl parade shooting. He said management fees dropped in 2024, fell to zero in 2025, and that filings are being corrected. On the Mahomes side, searches turned up no comparable reporting about the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation.
Because we all know great futures start here, in the launch video he added, “We hope you’ll join us in supporting the awesome work of the Boys & Girls Clubs,.
Executive director Aaron Eanes said expenses were wrongly labeled on tax forms for nearly a decade. “We are dedicated to ensuring this foundation operates at the highest standards,” he said. It also helps to know who is counting. Both figures came from parties with a stake in the story, a foundation in one case and a team in the other. Neither is an audited total. Treat them as fair markers, not final scorecards. The details are more concrete than the headline suggests. The foundation will help upgrade those buildings. There is a running meter as well. That is small next to the main gift, but it ties the cause to game day. The personal link is real. Brittany attended a Club as a kid, and Patrick framed the gift around that: “Kids who attend a Boys & Girls Club, like Brittany once did, are provided with the necessary tools and resources to help this generation not only thrive but lead with compassion and purpose. ” The dollars stack up. The team describes that money as personal donations and directed funds. The launch materials also do not lay out a payment schedule. Readers who want certainty should check the foundation’s annual tax filings as they appear.
