If an organization has a religious name and its chartering documents contain religious references, is it still eligible to receive Federal funding?
Yes. A faith-based or religious organization does not need to change its identity – including its name or chartering documents – in order to qualify for a Federal grant. Nor does it need to remove religious art, icons, scripture, or other religious symbols from its property or its publications – although all of these items must have been purchased with private funds.
