Charitable Choice

"Charitable Choice" is the general name for several laws that President Clinton signed into law during the period of 1996-2000. These laws were designed to give people in need choices among the charities offering them services. The Charitable Choice Laws apply to four Federal programs: 

• Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) and the 
• Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) programs (both overseen by 
• the Administration for Children and Families at the 
• United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)); programs for substance abuse and mental health (overseen by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) at HHS); and the Welfare-to-Work program (overseen by the Department of Labor).

The Charitable Choice laws also impose certain restrictions on faith-based organizations. They spell out specific "do's" and "don'ts" for faith-based groups receiving Federal money. The laws specify that religious organizations that receive Federal funds must serve all eligible participants, regardless of those persons' religious beliefs. They also prohibit religious organizations from using Federal funds to support any inherently religious activities (such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization).

In addition, recipients of services provided under Charitable Choice laws have a right to be provided with services from a non-religious provider. President Bush believes that recipients of Federal services should be offered a choice of providers. That is why it is preferable to have a range of providers, both secular and faith-based.
