Philanthrocapitalism Raises Concerns Over Social Agenda Control

Philanthrocapitalism Raises Concerns Over Social Agenda Control

The concentration of capital in private foundations is raising questions about the influence of wealthy individuals on the development sector's goals. As these individuals, often termed 'hyper-agents,' assume operational roles in philanthropy, they are shaping social goals rather than merely supporting them. This shift is leading to a focus on sectors that are easier to explain and measure, such as education and economic development, while more complex issues like gender justice and civil liberties are sidelined. The trend is driven by the new generation of philanthropists who view themselves as changemakers and are confident in their ability to effect change, often using business metrics to assess impact.

Canistota's Housing Development Spurs Community Revitalization

In Canistota, South Dakota, a significant transformation is underway as local developers focus on housing development to revitalize the community. Kaitlyn Killoran, a former educator turned developer, and her husband have been instrumental in this change by purchasing and renovating properties, including hotels and twin homes. Their efforts are complemented by Mike Kerrigan, another local developer, who is building a 16-home subdivision and has remodeled several dilapidated houses. The Canistota Development Corp. is also playing a role by encouraging commercial development and beautifying the town. These initiatives have led to a population increase and a younger demographic, with 42% of residents under 29. The city, once known for its Ortman Chiropractic Clinic, is now becoming a regional housing hub, attracting new families and serving as a bedroom community for nearby cities.
