6. Peyton Manning

Peyton started the “Peyback” Foundation in 1999 to help at-risk youth and has donated $1.3 million for youth organizations that promote the future success of disadvantaged youth. The Foundation also provides nearly 1,000 meals for Thanksgiving every year. Last year, Manning donated $3 million to his alma mater, the University of Tennessee, to add to his Peyton Manning Scholarship Endowment and help double the amount of students receiving scholarship funds annually.
