What is a faith-based organization?
There is NO official federal definition of a faith-based organization. Whoever declares themselves to be faith-based is de facto faith-based. The intent is to encourage any organization that has a faith inspired interest in providing services to the needy, to apply for government funds and that faith-based charities should be able to compete on an equal footing for public dollars to provide public services. A general definition is an organization, group, program or project that provides human services, and has a faith element integrated into their organization.
