Philanthropy and Faith: An Introduction is intended primarily for the private philanthropic community although others, especially criminal justice practitioners and community and local policymakers, should find it useful. It closes with guidelines for private funders that wish to establish working partnerships with faith-based entities. Philanthropy and Faith examines the role of faith-based communities in partnership with private funders. Some of the information comes from a symposium in April 2002 that included faith-based organizations, private funders, and policy administrators in an examination of an initiative addressing juvenile crime in Boston. Interviews and conversations with faith-based organizations and foundation executives in other cities provide further insight.
