[[Philanthrocapitalism|Philanthropic capitalism]] or philanthrocapitalism is a way of doing philanthropy through the [[Capitalism|capitalist]] realm. Instead of it being for profit, the philanthropist does it as a non-profit and only breaks even or even takes a small loss. Still, the overall gain to the community would be greater than the small loss they incurred.<ref>{{Cite web|first=K|last=Sahadevan|url=https://countercurrents.org/2020/08/capitalist-philanthropy-a-means-of-circumventing-the-state/|title = Capitalist Philanthropy: A Means of Circumventing the State?|website=Countercurrents|date = 4 August 2020}}</ref> For example, a philanthropist puts up {{currency|10 million|USD|passthrough=yes}} for [[Urban renewal|neighborhood revitalization]] to build new homes in place of [[dilapidated]] housing and only breaks even or takes on a small loss selling the homes. If they took a {{currency|1,000|USD|linked=no}} loss on each home, 10,000 homes could be made with that initial philanthropic donation. It could be run like a [[nonprofit organization]] so they would not have to pay property taxes on the homes as they were waiting to be sold.
