What is philanthropy?
Philanthropy /fəˈlanTHrəpē/ (n): The act of promoting and advocating for the prosperity and welfare of worthy causes through contributions of time, talent or monetary donations.
Philanthropy is a collaborative donating effort that aims to help humankind — in fact, the word itself means “love of humanity.” Every contribution counts!
