liberalities
Acts of giving
Liberalities is the plural of liberality, meaning acts of generosity or the quality of giving freely.
The word carries a formal, slightly old-fashioned tone: The hospital was built through the liberalities of wealthy donors.
Liberality can also mean openness of mind—freedom from narrow prejudice—though this sense appears less often in the plural.
