Wiki-Monday: Philanthropy

From Wikipedia: Philanthropy

Philanthropy is the act of donating money, goods, time, or effort to support a charitable cause, usually over an extended period of time and in regard to a defined objective. In a more fundamental sense, philanthropy may encompass any altruistic activity which is intended to promote good or improve human quality of life. Although philanthropists are often very wealthy, people may nevertheless perform philanthropic acts without possessing great wealth.
