Troy Aikman Dissolving His Foundation, Moving $1M Into Donor-Advised Fund at United Way

Dallas Cowboys legend Troy Aikman has overseen the Troy Aikman Foundation for Children ever since establishing it in 1992. Now, however, the NFL Hall of Fame quarterback has decided to dissolve his foundation and transfer its $1 million in assets to the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas' Unite Forever Campaign. That campaign, an effort announced last year to support North Texas education, health and financial stability, has raised more than $35 million so far toward its $100 million goal.

Aikman’s commitment will establish the “Troy Aikman Foundation Fund in the United Way Foundation of Metropolitan Dallas”—the first-ever donor-advised fund for United Way of Metropolitan Dallas.
