Faith-based philanthropic networks in the United States are engaged in global development efforts through a variety of vehicles. However, our knowledge of the extent to and ways in which this engagement occurs is quite limited. In this paper, we build on theories of individual global philanthropy and refine them for the organizational context of faith-based congregations. We also provide a case-study example of congregational engagement in global development for context. We test these theories by applying them in our analysis of faith-based global engagement and the organizational factors which impact this engagement as exhibited in data from the National Congregation Study, a nationally representative sample of U.S. religious congregations. The effect of denominational affiliation, congregation programming, ideology measures, members’ socioeconomic status, and the racial/ethnic composition of the congregation are tested concerning global engagement. Findings indicate that key theories for individual philanthropic engagement are reflected at the organizational level of congregations. Recommendations for future areas of inquiry are provided based on findings.
