Religion and ethics play a central role in influencing values, social services and intercommunity dialogue in many regions and communities. There are equally many nonprofits that have made engaging in these topics a focus of their efforts. These nonprofits may benefit from the funding provided by religions and ethics grants. These kinds of grants are distributed by a wide range of organizations. This includes many private foundations, such as the Lilly Endowment or the Henry Luce Foundation. 

When drafting religions and ethics focused grants, it's important to back up your claims with data. You need to make it clear that you fully understand the community or region  that you are targeting. You may need to collect religious demographic information, or measures of engagement and success from your previous efforts.
