01What it does

What Faithful America does

Mission

The largest online community of christians putting faith into action for social justice. Continued on schedule o

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. We raise our collective voices through rapid-response campaigns that tap into the grassroots power of christians across the nation. When corporations and religious institutions invoke religious freedom as a justification for bigotry and discrimination, we speak up. When hate groups purport to speak for christianity, we act. We challenge the catholic hierarchy in the united states to live up to the inspiring words of pope francis, and we stick up for courageous christian voices for fairness and freedom in every denomination.

Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

How concentrated its funding is

FAITHFUL AMERICA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 98% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

98% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FAITHFUL AMERICA.
