Taylor Swift Charity Work Through The Years Explored

Aside from being a well-renowned music icon and songwriter, Swift is also an activist and humanitarian. Like her greatness in music, her kindness to people, and the causes she champions are very notable.

Very recently, as she embarked on "The Eras" tour, Taylor Swift started to donate anonymously to food banks in every city she has visited.

We have broken down the notable charities and humanitarian endeavors that Taylor Swift has partnered with in the past few years.

UNICEF's Tap Project

Swift joined many other celebrities in selling water straight from their homes to raise over $2.5 million. The proceeds for the said initiative from UNICEF went directly to people worldwide who have a problem accessing clean water.

African Parks Foundation of America

The proceeds for the "Wildest Dreams" music video went to Swift's chosen animal foundation. The music video featured wildlife as its main theme. The organization places extreme focus on poaching eradication, community engagement, sustainable tourism, and nature conservation, among many others.

Taylor Swift Education Center

In 2013, Swift opened the Taylor Swift Education Center in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. She donated a total of $4 million to the museum for children to explore the country music genre - and even engage through learning workshops, installations, and interactive classrooms.

Joyful Heart Foundation

After the controversial assault lawsuit she had with DJ David Mueller, Taylor Swift gave a generous pledge to one of his favorite actress's own organizations. She donated a big amount to Mariska Hargitay's foundation, which has helped thousands of victims of sexual assault in the United States.

Nashville Tornado Victims

Giving back to those who were in need is something that Swift has always done, especially when it comes to her own hometown. When a tornado hit Nashville in 2020, Taylor Swift gave a million-dollar donation to the Middle Tennessee Emergency Response Fund.

NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund

In light of the murder of George Floyd, Swift made a sizable donation to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

World Health Organization
