Faith and Philanthropy: The Connection Between Charitable Behavior and Giving to Religion

Recently released by the Independent Sector (IS) and the National Council of Churches (NCC), this report examines the relationship between religious and charitable giving. According to the report, over 85 percent of religious giving households support secular organizations. In addition, households that give to both religious and secular causes give more money and volunteer more than households that give to only one type of organization. An excerpt, the press release, and the foreword (written by Robert W. Edgar, General Secretary of the NCC) is available on the IS's Web site. Those interested in examining this report in its entirety can order an online copy.
