Defining Philanthropy
Greek playwright Aeschylus coined the term philanthropy in the 5th century BCE. It meant “love of humanity.” Today, philanthropy means generosity in all its forms and a commitment to supporting positive social impact. It is often defined as the giving of “time, talent and treasure” to help make life better for other people.
Anyone can be a philanthropist, regardless of status or net worth – it’s simply about committing to a cause you believe in.
“We are currently working with OKC on our Capital Campaign and I am really impressed by the progress. Mary and the OKC team are great listeners, they understand our needs, and are getting to the heart of what the ethos and values of Our Lady’s Bower means to the school community. Combined with the rigour, high-quality support and passion the team provides, I would highly recommend OKC for any similar assignments.”
