Listen "Religion and Charitable Giving"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. David King and Rafia Khader discuss the role of religion in charitable giving, noting that religion is the largest sub-sector of the charitable giving pie in the US, with 27% of donations going to religious organizations. While there have been shifts in religious affiliation patterns, spirituality and values continue to shape and motivate giving, and fundraisers should be attentive to these factors. The speakers also discuss the impact of the pandemic on religious giving and the context of religion in social justice issues. Additionally, they explore the philanthropic activity of the Jewish and Muslim American communities and offer advice on how fundraisers can connect with religious donors for the causes they represent.
