Charity v. Philanthropy Infographic

Khoa-Nathan Ngo compares charity and philanthropy in this infographic

1. CHARITY
PHILANTHROPY
Charity is a type of
giving or donation to
help those in need.
Charities rely on
donations to provide
services for people in
need.
In recent years, there
has been an
increasing number of
people using or
supporting non-
profit organizations.
VERSUS
CHARITIES ARE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT COLLECT FUNDS FOR
A SPECIFIC CAUSE. ON THE OTHER HAND, PHILANTHROPY IS AN ACT OF
GENEROSITY OR AN EXAMPLE OF CHARITY IN ACTION WITHOUT
RECEIVING PAYMENT BACK.

THE TERM "CHARITY" REFERS TO SOCIETIES FORMED BY PRIVATE
CITIZENS WHO COLLECTED MONEY TO PROVIDE AID OR RELIEF FOR
OTHERS. MEANWHILE, PHILANTHROPY HAS BEEN AROUND AS EARLY AS
600 BC. THE WORD PHILANTHROPY COMES FROM THE GREEK WORDS
"PHILOS" (LOVE) AND "ANTHRŌPOS" (MANKIND).
The modern definition
today includes the
idea of gift-giving,
helping others, or
volunteering to give
back to society.
Philanthropy is the
act of giving money,
help, or other
resources to the poor
or those in need.
Philanthropy is an act
of doing good, a
virtue, or a disposition
to do good. It is the
opposite of selfishness
or self-interest.
In this sense, it often
has a lot in common
with charity.
Today's philanthropists
are often associated
with billionaires such as
Bill Gates and Warren
Buffet, who have
donated billions to
charitable causes over
their lifetime.
