Introduction

Philanthropy is the voluntary act of

donating money or goods or providing

some other support to a charitable cause,usually over an extended period of time. In

a more fundamental sense, philanthropy

may encompass any altruistic activitywhich is intended to promote good or

improve human quality of life.

Someone who is well known for practicingphilanthropy may sometimes be called a

philanthropist. Although such individuals are

often very wealthy, people may neverthelessperform philanthropic acts without possessinggreat wealth.

Philanthropy is a major source of income for

artistic, musical, religious, and humanitariancauses, as well as educational institutionsranging from schools to universities

Philanthropy is not always viewed as a

universal good. Notable thinkers such as

Friedrich Nietzsche andAyn Rand

opposed philanthropy on philosophical

grounds, connecting it with the idea of the

weak sponging off the strong, a view

sometimes endorsed by those whooppose governmentwelfare programs.

The purpose of philanthropy is also

debated. Some equate philanthropy with

benevolence and charity for the poorand

needy. Others hold that philanthropy canbe any altruistic giving towards any kind of

social need that is not served by the

market.

Political views on

philanthropyPhilanthropy is a private sectormeans of

effecting social change without recourse to

government mechanisms such as those

represented by aid programs.

Governments are often supportive of

philanthropic efforts. In many countries,

those who donate money to a charity aregiven a tax break.

Some governments are suspicious of

philanthropic activities as possible

grabs for favor (and votes/power indemocracies) of portions of the

population by non-governmental

organizations

Social activists frequently criticize

philanthrophic contributions by

corporations whom activists consider"suspect". An example is the Harvard,

Exxon, and South Africa case. Harvard

University divested itself ofExxon stock

after pressure and accusations that

Exxon's doing business in South Africa

contributed to apartheid.

Conventional Usage

By the conventional definition of

philanthropy, donations are dedicated to a

narrowly defined cause and the donation

is targeted to make a recognizable change

in social conditions. This often

necessitates large donations and financialsupport sustained over time.

Usageof the word


13/15

The need for a large financial commitmentcreates a distinction between philanthropy andcharitable giving, which typically plays asupporting role in a charitable organizationinitiated by someone else. Thus, theconventional usage ofphilanthropyappliesmainly to wealthy persons, and sometimes to atrust created by a wealthy person with a

particular cause or objective targeted.amecompany over the course of their career.

Charitable Organization

A charitable organization (also known as a

charity) is a trust, company or

charitable purposes only. (Trusts or bodiesestablished partly for charitable purposes

are sometimes considered as, or treated

as, charities: this is a matter of definition.)
