Foundation activism in urban revitalization: Effects on institutions and political agency
Philanthropic foundations have assumed more significant roles in city governance through traditional grantmaking to NPOs, funding governmental services, and becoming more active in crafting and implementing community interventions. This raises important questions related to governance, political agency, and democracy. Through case studies of targeted interventions in two Pittsburgh neighborhoods, this study examines the extent to which foundation…
Philanthropic Funding for Community and Economic Development: Exploring Potential for Influencing Policy and Governance
Philanthropic foundations are prominent participants in collaborations to revitalize some distressed cities. Their participation and vast resources raise questions about their potential to influence city policy, become part of local governing regimes, and alter regimes’ policy biases. Yet, no comprehensive, empirical studies exist to establish the potential scale of this phenomenon across a large number of cities. This study begins to fill that v…
Donor-driven democracy? Governance implications of foundation-dependent revitalization
Philanthropic foundations and nonprofit financial intermediaries have become critical funders of community revitalization in many U.S. cities, often moving beyond their traditional role of passive, reactionary funders to initiators and lead coordinators of broad-based, collaborative revitalization initiatives. This role can give foundation leaders critical influence on resource allocations in cities, even leading to enduring influence as part of …
Strategic Geographic Targeting in Community Development: Examining the Congruence of Political, Institutional, and Technical Factors
Strategic geographic targeting (SGT) of community development resources has become increasingly common among cities attempting to enhance the impact of limited community development resources. Through an examination of a unique geographically targeted community development initiative undertaken by the City of Detroit, the author shows that despite environmental changes that made adoption of SGT politically viable, efforts to implement SGT, partic…
Strategic, Geographic Targeting of Housing and Community Development Resources: A Conceptual Framework and Critical Review
This article critically examines a conceptual framework for strategic, geographic targeting, an allocation model for improving efficiency in community development programs. It reviews the theoretical and empirical literature, discusses constraints and policy implications, and outlines a research agenda. Cost-savings, multiplier, and interaction effects form the core rationale for strategic, geographic targeting. Focus and neighborhood spillover e…
