Nearly a third of the $373 billion that Americans donated to charity last year went to religious organizations. Out of over 113bn$ donated to regligious ints. In the world of Christian ministries, the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability was founded in 1979 after a series of religious fundraising scandals involving high-rolling televangelists and a Catholic group, the Pallotine Fathers, who spent only two-and-a-half cents per donor dollar on ministry programs. ECFA�s members include more than 2,100 church and parachurch ministries that receive about $16 billion a year. Here is the largest receivers of funding.
