Faith and Philanthropy: The Connection Between Charitable Behavior and Giving to Religion
URL: http://www.independentsector.org/programs/research/faithphilanthropy.html

Description:
Excerpts from a report examining the relationship between religious and charitable giving. The report concludes, "households that give to religion are the bedrock of giving to the nation’s nonprofit organizations. 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."
