Good update to the 1980s version created by the Minnesota Council on Foundations "Philanthropy Is..." concept.

Some view charity as focusing on giving relief to those in need right now, while philanthropy focuses on changing problems in the long-term. Consider the saying Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime. Think of giving the man a fish as charity; it is important right now and relieves the mans current pressing need. Think of teaching the man to fish as philanthropy; it is solving the problem in the long term.
