Philanthropy
One should not only know how to receive a gift, he should have the grace to share it.
~Maya Angelou~
Philanthropy means “love of humanity.” It is defined as a person or organization seeking
to promote the welfare of others, especially by donating money to good causes.
You can also donate by purchasing products for yourself or others where part of the
money or product goes to different Philanthropic organizations.
Philanthropic organizations are non-profit and not run by the government.
