Lake Institute on Faith & Giving fosters a deeper understanding of the dynamic relationship between faith and giving, through research, education, and public conversation. We serve as a bridge between the academy and faith-based organizations or networks, and actively share information and insights in both directions.
We conduct and encourage research on faith and giving, shaped by insight from practitioners. We translate research findings into educational programs, resources, and events for practitioners; and we convene key partners and influencers to help move forward public understanding about the nature and importance of faith and giving. We work within and among faith traditions, seeking to reflect and support the diversity of religious expression in the American context.
The Lake Institute also produces Insights, a bi-weekly e-newsletter for the religious community and fundraisers of faith-based organizations.
