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.

    Philanthropist comes to mind; also benefactor.

    Or if you want a real highfalutin word, try eleemosynary.
