When the bank made the announcement, during the racial-justice protests after George Floyd’s murder, it did not specify what money was philanthropy and what was a change in business practices, nor did it name benchmarks against which its efforts could be judged. On closer examination, about $2 billion of the total will go to philanthropy to “drive an inclusive economic recovery and support Black, Latinx, and other underserved communities.” Other forms of aid include loans and other funding for developers to build affordable housing, money for community-based, nonprofit lenders, more mortgages for minority buyers (which have already nudged upward), and more refinancing to let existing minority homeowners take advantage of the low interest rates at the time of the announcement. Jesse Van Tol, president of the nonprofit National Community Reinvestment Coalition, applauded efforts to expand homeownership, but he warned that increasing debt in poor communities can be risky. “That’s very different from the bank giving away $50 million or $100 million,” he said. On the other hand, a Clinton administration official who oversaw the Community Reinvestment Act said a business relationship “brings people into the real economy of the country.” ([New York Times]( Florida hosts a new crop of museums that are part of a trend of wealthy collectors erecting their own institutions to display their treasures. Recent openings include the Museum of the American Arts & Crafts Movement, founded by a former pharmaceutical distributor; the James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art, founded by an emeritus chairman of Raymond James Financial; and Imagine Museum, to house the glass collection of a local philanthropist. They join several privately funded museums that have opened since the 1990s. These institutions satisfy both donors, who have specific ideas of how their collections should be treated, and, sometimes, leaders of public museums, who would rather not deal with those strictures. But their founders acknowledge that funding for the long term can be a concern and that these sometimes-niche institutions will probably need to widen their appeal.
