Estimating the Value of the Social Services Provided by Faith-Based Organizations in the United States

• Stritt, Steven B.

Abstract

The idea of increasing the role of faith-based organizations (FBOs) as social service providers has risen to prominence during George W. Bush's presidency. Although the knowledge base on FBO activity has expanded in recent years, a number of factors make it difficult to ascertain the actual value of the services provided by these groups. This Research Note is concerned with reviewing several important studies in the emerging research to establish a comprehensive estimate for the dollar value of the social services provided by FBOs. The analysis in this research note reveals the value of the FBO contribution to be greater than previously recognized.
