Generosity

Generosity is the habit of giving. Often equated with charity as a virtue, generosity is widely accepted in society as a desirable habit. In times of natural disaster, relief efforts are many times furnished voluntarily by individuals or group acting unilaterally in making gifts of time, resources, goods or cash. Generosity is an altruistic trait of the philanthropist and a guiding principle for many registered charities, foundations and non-profit organizations.
