Private Philanthropy

Private philanthropy refers to voluntary financial support from individuals, families, foundations, or other private entities aimed at addressing social issues, supporting charitable causes, or funding projects that benefit the community. Unlike government funding, private philanthropy is driven by personal or organizational values and priorities. It can include donations, grants, or endowments used to advance education, health, arts, and social equity. The goal is to create positive change by providing resources to initiatives that may lack sufficient public funding, fostering innovation and sustainability in areas important to the donors.
