Although it is faith-based non-profits that provide basic service to millions of vulnerable clients each year, it is often difficult for them to access government or foundation funding for this work.

All funders have eligibility criteria for granting money for agencies to do the work. These criteria usually focus on the client profile, actual services to be delivered, and the expected outcomes. However, some criteria intentionally exclude services sponsored by faith communities.

Funders are not necessarily looking at the kind of services provided, but at aspects of the service delivery. Examples of this are agencies that insist on clients attending religious services before receiving meals, or agencies that have compulsory Bible studies as part of a treatment program. Unfortunately, there are also examples of staff proselytizing and threatening clients with withdrawal of services if there is not at least superficial acceptance of their beliefs.
