Phi.lan.thro.py (fi-lan-thru-pee) - n, pl -pies

1. the practice of performing charitable or benevolent action

2. love of mankind in general

from Greek: love of mankind, from philos loving + anthropos man

The word "philanthropy" was coined in Ancient Greece. According to historians, the mythological Titan god Prometheus (whose name means "forethought"), who created mankind out of clay, is the world's first philanthropist. His creatures, however, were not inspiring; they had no skills of any kind, nor knowledge, and lived in caves, in darkness, in constant fear for their lives. Zeus, the tyrannical king of the gods, decided to destroy Prometheus's creation. But Prometheus, out of his "philanthropos tropos" - his "humanity-loving character" gave his creatures two gifts to enhance their quality of life: fire, symbolizing all knowledge, arts, sciences, technology and practical skills; and "blind hope", or optimism.

Just as Prometheus empowered the human race with his gifts, you too can make a difference in the lives of our residents. Become a philanthropist for Holy Trinity Nursing & Rehabilitation Center -you have the power to give them hope and use your "fire" to enhance their quality of life. There are many types of "fire" you can choose from.
Donate
Holy Trinity Nursing and Rehabilitation Center depends on the goodwill and charity of others to make up the increasing difference between what the federal and state governments reimburse and what it actually costs to provide the care our residents deserve. We implore you to look into your hearts and ask yourselves how you would like to be treated in your "golden years," and enable us to treat others that way. There are a number of different ways to show your Philanthropic spirit.  
We are a tax exempt non-profit under IRS tax code 501(c)(3), which means gifts can be made tax deductible.

You can donate to one of our fundraising efforts:
  • "Treasured Generations" - our annual fund
  • Archons - for Business and Professionals to show their community leadership
  • Walkathon - pledge your support for our residents by raising money to walk or supporting those who do
  • The Annual Event - our major "fun-raiser" of the year - you have fun and our residents benefit by your generosity
  • Memorials -- if you appreciate the care your friends and loved ones received, you can make a donation in their memory and encourage others to
  • Dedicated Gifts - is there an activity or occasion that you would like to underwrite for the residents? Or perhaps you see a need in the resident rooms, day rooms, or another area of the building that you would like to fulfill? We keep a wish list ranging from the flashy - a gazebo - to the mundane - software programs, cooling pumps and roof repairs - that always can use funding
  • Bequests -- remembering Holy Trinity in your will is another way to show your support
