Philanthropy is derived from Greek origins φίλος (love) e άνθρωπος (human being), and means "to love the human being". Philanthropy can be viewed as an individual’s inclination to increase the well-being of humankind, as by charitable aid or donations, and is a major source of income for fine arts and performing arts, religious, and humanitarian causes, as well as educational institutions. With a steady stream of retiring baby boomers entering their “giving years”, the philanthropic landscape is on the verge of massive change. With the wisdom of a full life, new time on their hands and the wealth to finance their lifestyle, Baby Boomers will have an unprecedented chance to engage in volunteerism and other acts of philanthropy. The Salvation ArmyOne of the more distinctive denominations of the Christian Church, the Salvation Army operates as both a church and a network of social services, stemming from its worship of God and its Christian values. There are currently 1,650,000 Salvationists (members) in over 113 countries.
The Salvation Army is one of the largest and most diverse social welfare providers in the world. Our philosophy is that we can best express our love for God by compassionately reaching out to help people. In a typical week, the Salvation Army will provide people in need with an estimated 100,000 meals. It provides beds to 5,000 homeless people, rehabilitation to 500 addicted and refuge to 400 victims of domestic abuse. It also provides counselling to several thousand people.
