Measuring and Maximizing the Results of Your Philanthropy

The origins of the word “philanthropy” can be traced back to the 5th century BC to Aeschylus, playwright of Prometheus Bound . Aeschylus uses the phrase “philanthropos tropos,” or “humanity loving,” to describe Prometheus because of his decision to have compassion on the earthly humans.
