Philanthropy’s etymological roots are found in Greek, philanthropia means love of humanity. Philanthropy is now used to describe the desire to promote the welfare of others or the advancement of society by giving money, goods, skills or time.
Our world is fast-changing and dynamic but faces a number of challenges. You can build your philanthropy to fit your values as well as your means, and use this impact solution to change our world for the better.
There are different degrees of personal commitment and different ways to get involved, from giving directly to set up your own philanthropic vehicle (foundation and other status).
Depending on legal and fiscal environment, your donations may entitle you to fiscal advantages, and bequests to exemption from inheritance tax.
