Charity relieves need.
Philanthropy rewards promise.
Charity is committed to aid the unfortunate while philanthropy is determined to prevent and correct social ills. It recognizes both aspects of our role as defined by Robert H. Bremner, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of History, The Ohio State University. “Charity and philanthropy are so closely related it is sometimes hard to tell them apart. Both involve giving but for different purposes: charity gives to relieve need, philanthropy to reward promise. Charity is older and plainer; philanthropy the more modish and glamorous.”
