Philanthropists

The American Heritage Dictionary defines philanthropy as the effort/inclination to increase the well-being of humankind, as by charitable aid or donations; love of humankind in general; such as an activity or institution, intended to promote human welfare.

The word "philanthropy" comes from Greek. The root word "anthrop" means "human" while "phil" or "philo" is aligned with "love." As such, philanthropy is a gesture of an organization's love for humanity. In practice, philanthropy has the goal of influencing the well-being of humankind through charitable efforts and the act of giving to the community.
