A philanthropist is a person, usually wealthy, who makes some or all of his money available to charitable causes.

Many community services, such as libraries, schools and sanitation systems have been founded and significantly funded by philanthropists.

EXAMPLE: Andrew Carnegie was a rich and famous philanthropist, donating significant parts of his personal fortune in furthering education in various ways.
