Philanthropy

Philanthropy is when someone chooses to do something to help others, without expecting anything in return. Often people will donate their time, money, or resources to make the world a better place. For example, someone might volunteer to help clean up a park, or donate money to a charity that helps homeless people. People who give of their time, money and resources to help other people are called philanthropists.
