• An improved sense of well-being (89 percent).

WHAT IS PHILANTHROPY?

The word philanthropy comes from the Greek word philanthropos, meaning ‘loving humankind'.

Today, philanthropy is often viewed as a privilege for the wealthy and is usually equated to financial contributions. At Philanthropy Field Trips, we believe that anyone can be a philanthropist by giving to others in any capacity. Giving back to your community through gifts of time, talent and treasure, in any amount, demonstrates your love of humanity.
