National Philanthropy Day
Many who give back to their families on November 15th, National Philanthropy Day honors those who give back to their families.
The word philanthropy comes from Latin and Greek philanthropia, which gives us kindliness, humanity, and admiration for mankind. We take the philo (tending to, fond of) and join antropos, which refers to humans or human beings from this.
The ways philanthropy has changed the world
Philanthropists give of their time and resources in ways that have a long-term effect.
- Scholarships, grants, foundations, and other educational programs can help support education
- Foundations fund scientific research
- The growth of charities is a focus of charities
- Funding grants to programs for local, national, and international needs
- Artists are supported by grants and foundations to promote art by grants and foundations
- Invest in advocacy platforms for the homeless, especially the underprivileged
The day honors philanthropists for their many important contributions, support, and good deeds, as well as the cultural shifts that they have made in our lives and communities.
Although philanthropy is giving and receiving, it is also a form of gift that seeks to replace social ills with solutions. Philanthropists see problems and try to solve them. Charity is often a temporary solution to a temporary crisis. We look for a cure if the condition persists. There are instances of philanthropy that can relate to instances of charity. The difference is that charity helps people with the pains of social problems, while philanthropy seeks to solve those problems at their root causes.
