A word for 'charitable person'?

I've been looking for this word meaning 'a charitable person'. It's not humanitarian or good samaritan though.
I heard it been used in several occasions, one of them is the Oprah's Show featuring Bill Gates.

Many thanks.

I think it's a bit of both. Religious organizations provide an effective way for charitable people to practice their charity.
