What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.”
----Albert Pine
Do you have to have great wealth or fame to be a philanthropist? No, anyone can be a philanthropist.
Have you ever put your spare change into a charity collection container at a fast-food restaurant or convenience store? Have you ever volunteered for a school or church fund-raising event? If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, then you are a philanthropist.
Philanthropy is about giving of yourself, whether it is with money or your time. All you have to do is care about something – an organization, a cause or a mission – and give something of yourself to support that which has touched your heart. Philanthropy can be done by individuals, families and companies.
Corporate giving or corporate philanthropy is the act of corporations donating a portion of their profits or resources to various non-profit organizations. The function of corporate giving can be handled directly by the corporation or through a company foundation.
