The word philanthropy comes from Latin and Greek philanthropia which gives us kindliness, humanity, and love for mankind. From this, we take the philo (tending to, fond of) and join antropos meaning mankind or human beings.

Philanthropists give of their time and money in ways that provide a lasting impact. Some of the ways philanthropy changes the world include:

  • supporting education through scholarships, grants, foundations and more
  • foundations supporting scientific research
  • development of charities
  • funding grants to programs for local, national and international needs
  • encourage art through grants and foundations
  • invest in advocacy platforms for the underprivileged
