The findings show that despite America's push to engage religious organizations in aid, the total number of religious organizations it funds is relatively low, especially when compared with the number of USAID's secular partners. These faith-based organizations (FBOs) also represent the minority of US-based development FBOs broadly. Relying on extensive original survey and interview data, the book suggests that many religious organizations are deterred from applying for public funding because they perceive the government as biased against them, or fear their religious mission might be challenged. In addition to investigating why some FBOs eschew government funds, the book also examines why some FBOs choose to partner with USAID and what this relationship can look like. \u003cem\u003eFaith in Foreign Aid\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the voices and experiences of FBOs, showing a way for more effective engagement between religious organizations and government actors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to researchers across public policy, development, religion, and political science, as well as to practitioners at USAID and development organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Turner Haynes\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN, USA.
