Does opposing “charitable choice,” mean opposing the receipt of government funding by religiously-affiliated social-service organizations, such as the Jewish Federations?
A. No. Regardless of whether “charitable choice” exists, religiously-affiliated social service agencies such as Lutheran Social Services, Catholic Charities and Jewish Federations would continue to receive their funding. Notably, these organizations have extensive experience and success with the kind of safeguards discussed above. ADL is confident that such organizations would continue to thrive, as they have for decades, with the old safeguards.
