ENSURING A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD: FUNDING FAITH-BASED
ORGANISATIONS TO PROVIDE PUBLICLY FUNDED SERVICES
Faith-based bodies, and religious organisations make a significant contribution to the well-being of society. They are eligible, like any other suitably qualified bodies, to be awarded a tender to deliver publicly funded services, or to be given a grant to carry out a project of benefit to the wider community or to their own members or constituency of supporters.
However, a number of myths surround the funding of faith-based bodies to deliver publicly funded services and can obstruct the fair access of such bodies to public funding and tendering opportunities as part of the third sector.
These notes are a positive attempt to ensure that there is a
level playing field. They are addressed primarily to purchasers and
funders of services in local government.
Some of these myths, followed by the facts in each case, are set out below. To download the infromation use the link.
