philanthropic funding

Philanthropic funding refers to financial support donated by individuals, foundations, or corporations to organizations or projects that aim to benefit society. Unlike government funding, it is often driven by charitable intentions to address social issues, improve communities, or advance knowledge. These funds support nonprofits, research, education, and other initiatives that might not be commercially profitable but are valuable for social good. Philanthropic funding typically involves grants, donations, or endowments, and it relies on the generosity and strategic priorities of philanthropists committed to positive societal impact.
