Philanthropy - Organized efforts by foundations, trusts, funds, and charitable organizations to provide financial grants, resources, or support to address societal needs.
Note: Classification for Reporting Purposes - For this preliminary report philanthropy includes:
Foundations (Endowment Grantmaking) - Organization that possess a financial endowment from which they regularly allocate funds. These foundations typically support social causes over long periods through structured grantmaking programs.
Funds (No Endowment) - Organizations that do not have a financial endowment but rather operate by pooling resources from various contributors. These funds often focus on more immediate or short-term project-based initiatives, disbursing financial support to causes as resources are gathered.
Government - Financial support allocated by governmental entities for programs, projects, or initiatives. Public grants are often sourced from government budgets, taxes, or other public revenue streams, with the aim of addressing public needs and promoting the welfare of communities or society.
Corporations - Refers to financial support provided by corporations or for-profit entities to charitable causes, projects, or initiatives. These grants represent a company's commitment to invest in social, environmental, or community initiatives that resonate with their organizational mission and values.
