Charitable Choice Law - FAQs:

My organization has a religious name and its chartering documents contain religious references. Is it still eligible to receive Federal funding?

Yes. A faith-based or religious organization does not need to change its identity,  including its name or chartering documents,  to qualify for a Federal grant. Nor does it need it to remove religious art, icons, scripture, or other religious symbols from its property or its publications, although all of these must have been purchased with private funds.
