Definición

  • Faith-based initiatives are partnerships between faith-based organizations (that is, religious congregations and faith-related nonprofit agencies such as the Salvation Army) and government agencies to provide social welfare services to a community, especially through the transfer of public funds to faith-based organizations (FBOs). They exist at all levels of government—federal, state, and local—and range from partnerships for the production of affordable housing to the operation of day care and after-school programs to prisoner rehabilitation.
