The definition of philanthropy is any act done for the betterment of others without any expectation of reward or compensation. Volunteer work is a great way to be philanthropic, since you're not doing it to get paid. And even if you're doing it because community service looks good on a resume`, better you do it for that reason than not doing it at all.
