Philanthropy

Philanthropy refers to the act of promoting the welfare of others, typically through the donation of money, resources, or time to charitable causes. The term is derived from the Greek words “philos,” meaning love, and “anthropos,” meaning human or mankind. Philanthropy encompasses a range of activities, such as charitable giving, volunteering, and advocacy, aimed at addressing social issues, improving communities, and enhancing the quality of life for individuals and groups. It can be carried out by individuals, organizations, or institutions, and is often considered a key component of a democratic society, fostering a sense of community and social responsibility.
