Wordy Wednesday: eleemosynary
The Wednesday word is...
eleemosynary [el-e-MOS-e-ner-ee]
1. supported by charity or dependent on it
2. gratuitous, charitable in purpose
examples
There is good reason to treat eleemosynary institutions as tax-exempt entities as long as they can show their funds are mostly dependent on charity.
Philanthropy in business is never truly eleemosynary.
