benefactor
意味: A person who gives money, resources, or support to a person, institution, or cause, especially through substantial charitable donations.
Benefactor implies generosity on a significant scale and is commonly used in the context of arts patronage, university endowments, hospital funding, and charitable foundations. It carries a formal, slightly old-fashioned tone and often appears in the naming of buildings, scholarships, and trusts. Unlike 'donor,' it suggests an ongoing relationship and a measure of personal commitment.
