The Nonprofit Quarterly | Nonprofit Newswire | Philanthropy’s Role in Religion: Outsized Influence?

The Nonprofit Quarterly | Nonprofit Newswire | Philanthropy’s Role in Religion: Outsized Influence?: "March 30, 2010; The Bulletin | It’s no revelation that the bulk of individual donations in this country go to churches and religious organizations. But this research, done by sociologists D. Michael Lindsay and Robert Wuthnow, and published in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, suggests that charitable foundations may end up having a disproportionate influence on the future of religion despite the fact that they only contribute about 5% of what religious groups take in."
