About faith-based grants

Faith-based organizations can pursue funding from both private foundations and federal sources. On the federal side, faith-based and neighborhood organizations are eligible to compete for grants on an equal basis with secular nonprofits through agency Centers for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at departments like HHS, Justice, and Education. Private funders include large religious foundations such as the Lilly Endowment, denominational and community foundations, and donor networks that support faith-driven social services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What faith-based grants are available?

Faith-based organizations can pursue both federal grants and private foundation funding for social services such as housing, addiction recovery, education, hunger relief, and community development. The federal government does not set aside a separate funding stream for faith-based groups, but they may compete for agency grants on equal footing with other nonprofits, and many private foundations fund faith-driven programs directly.

Who funds faith-based organizations?

Funders include federal agencies (through Centers for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at departments like HHS, Justice, and Education), large religious foundations such as the Lilly Endowment, denominational and community foundations, and private donor networks. The mix depends on whether you are seeking support for explicitly religious programming or for community social services.

Can a faith-based group receive government grants?

Yes. Faith-based organizations are eligible to apply for federal grants on the same basis as secular organizations. Federal funds, however, cannot be used for inherently religious activities like worship or proselytizing, and any such activities must be kept separate in time or location from the government-funded services. Private foundation grants do not carry these restrictions and may fund religious programming directly.
