Not sure - maybe in some way. Is the goal for a player to minimize taxes or keep more of their own money? Setting up a foundation or making a donation means you give away more money than you'd save in taxes by making said donation. Either way, players definitely have advisers and would structure their contracts in such a way to be as tax efficient as possible.
Or is the goal to give back to the community that's given you so much - because that's a thing NHL players do as well, without it being financially motivated.
