faith-based groups

Spiritually motivated collectives

Faith-based groups are organizations rooted in religious belief—churches, mosques, synagogues, and their affiliated charities, schools, and community programs.

The term emerged in American political discourse around government funding for social services: The grant program supports faith-based groups working on addiction recovery.

It serves as a neutral umbrella covering diverse religious traditions without naming any particular one.
