PACE is in Inside Philanthropy this week in a piece highlighting the work of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and its investment in RNS! "A study commissioned by PACE for its Faith In/And Democracy pilot project found that 15% — 23,778 — out of 160,000 nonprofits that weren’t involved in promoting religion were nonetheless faith-based groups and that they operated 'in every major domain of the nonprofit sector' and provided 'a vast array of secular products and services.'"
