A philanthropist is someone who aims to improve a social issue usually through monetary means. However, philanthropists can also donate time and effort towards improving the status quo.

Pretty simply I think a philanthropist is someone who practices philanthropy, someone who donates their money or their time to aid a cause they believe in.

A philanthropist is someone who donates their time or money to benefit others. I usually think of a philanthropist as someone who donates large amounts of money to organizations which then uses that money to benefit a community or cause.

Philanthropists contribute their time, money, or other professional skills to an organization that does not generate its own profit on which to operate.

A philanthropist is someone who gives their available resources to a cause that helps other people. That resource could be time, money, or a specific skill that they have depending on the person and what they are able to give.

What first comes to mind when I think of Philanthropy is someone who dedicates a sizable chunk of their resources to a charitable cause or organization.

I think I philanthropist is someone who donates time, money, or effort to an organization, community, or group in need. I would hope that they do this without personal gain besides feeling good about yourself but I'm sure people who are considered philanthropists have personal agendas as well. I would also hope that when a philanthropists decides to invests in something they step back and let the experts decide how best to utilize their contribution. I know technically that it is considered philanthropy if someone donates a large amount of money to an organization or non-profit but they then try to take control of the project or tell the organization how they want "their money" to be spent on, it takes away from it.
