Why is the source of funding such an important issue for charities?
We believe that individuals are helped when solutions are tailored to meet their specific needs, when personal interaction encourages accountability, when religious, moral and spiritual issues are included, and when the dignity of each human person is preserved. Private charity, and the nonprofits they support, can better provide this kind of service because it is local, direct, flexible, and personal. In contrast, large government bureaucracies tend to value generic delivery of services and are not personally connected to the unique individual person in need.
