National Philanthropy Day
On November 15th, National Philanthropy Day honors those who give back to their families and their communities.
The word philanthropy comes from Latin and Greek philanthropia, which gives us kindliness, humanity, and admiration for mankind. We begin with the philo (tending to, fond of) and join antropos, which refers to humans or human beings.

For a temporary problem, charity is often a temporary solution. If the condition persists, we seek a cure. There are instances of philanthropy that may have echoes with instances of charity. The difference is that charity helps people cope with the pains of social problems, while philanthropy seeks to solve those problems at their root causes.
