A philanthropist, by definition, gives away time/money/assets to fellow man. Many poor people are philanthropists, spending their time helping others in every conceivable way. Many rich people are philanthropists, returning some of their wealth, gained from the community, back to the community in the form of schools, museums, libraries etc. Many philanthropists are millionares or multimillionares. In between the very rich and the very poor, many philanthropists are just ordinary folk, with average income/earnings/wages/profits who decide to share some of what they have with some who do not have. So, in monetary terms, some philanthropists make a lot, some don't make anything. But in other ways, they all make much with what they have. In all philanthropists do not make money but they give it away, there is no pay check to be a philanthropist. * For more information, see 'Related Links' below this box.

The main function of the hyphen is to stop people tripping up while they are reading a sentence when a grammatical ambiguity arises to do with how the sentence will end, for instance, "I am a man eating octopus" versus "I am a man-eating octopus". "Ragged-trousered philanthropists" lets us know that the philanthropists' trousers are ragged, rather than that the philanthropists are ragged and wearing trousers. Hyphens also serve to introduce people to a new combination of words relating to a new unitary idea, e.g. "audio-visual". These hyphens tend to disappear as people get more used to seeing the words together, so nowadays "audiovisual" is fine. A hyphen joins. A dash separates. People when typing will often use the same "-" symbol for both. If it is a hyphen there should be no space either side. If it is a dash you should put a space either side (most word processors will then turn this into an "en" dash), or you can type "--" with no space either side (most word processors will then turn this into an "em" dash). "En" and "em" refer to the width of the dash; either way is fine so long as you are consistent.
