faith-based institution
Spiritually grounded establishment
A faith-based institution is an organization—typically a school, hospital, charity, or social service provider—founded on or guided by religious principles.
The term gained currency in American policy debates over government funding: The program channels grants to faith-based institutions serving the homeless.
Such institutions may integrate religious practice into their services or simply operate according to religious values while serving secular purposes.
