Interfaith Coalitions is a sub-category that refers
to groups of all faiths working together for a common goal. Many
of these organizations come together through a concentration on
similarities between faiths, understanding of values, and commitment to
the world. These are religions that are found all over the world
and are working to fund various causes. This sub-category has over
100,000 organizations and support groups donating their time and money
to better our world.
Christianity is a large sub-category made up of two
groups: Protestants and Catholics. These two groups are similar in
their beliefs and in their goal to support charities who provide
clothing, shelter, monetary support, physical and emotional care to
those in need. These organizations also fund numerous research
centers for cancer, heart disease, and other diseases as well as fund
hospitals for those less fortunate or require special care for an
illness. These are located all over our country to assist those in
need from infants to senior citizens.
There are thousands of Support Organizations for
religious charities. They contribute in numerous ways such as:
alliance/advocacy organizations, management and technical assistance,
professional societies/associations, research institutes, public policy
analysis, monetary and non-monetary support. These groups are the
ones who are not usually recognized for their giving but are essential
to the success of the organizations.
There are thousands of groups in America that donate
and support Jewish charities all over the world. These
organizations provide funding for Jewish college sororities and
fraternities, scholarships and provides assistance to Jewish
adults and children in Israel who are suffering physically, financially
or emotionally. Judaism efforts cover the globe from everyday care to
aiding in emergency relief.
Religious Media & Communications provides funding for
religious film and video, printing and publishing, religious radio
stations, and television broadcasting. Many of us think that
if we give to our own local churches that is covers the cost of all
those needs but it takes many organizations coming together to be able
to provide all of the media and communications that we receive.
There are many Buddhist charities that do good work
throughout the world including helping and feeding the homeless and

These charities provide general funding for orphanages, care for the

the world, and medical expenses for Hindus in need of care. There
are also Hindu organizations that focus on retrieving religious
artifacts as well as providing books and assisting libraries who have
the dedication but lack the necessary funds.

providing housing and care for orphans, aiding in disaster relief, and
provides psychological treatment to traumatized children. They
