“…Existing knowledge of collaboration within this literature focuses on congregations (Chaves & Tsitsos, 2001;Cnaan, Wineburg, & Boddie, 1999;Cnaan, Boddie, McGrew, & Kang, 2006;Wuthnow, 2000) and faith-based coalitions (Cnaan et al, 2006;Ebaugh, Chafetz, & Pipes, 2005Pipes & Ebaugh, 2002). These sources provide an initial empirical case for further inquiry in the arena.…”

“…Ebaugh, Chafetz, and Pipes (2005) noted that it was the faith-based coalitions with fewer expressive religious practices and policies that were more likely to apply for and receive government funding. In an earlier study, Pipes and Ebaugh (2002) noted that 8 of the 14 faith-based social service coalitions that they examined in Harris County, Texas, were not interested in pursuing government grants because either they feared such a relationship would affect the spiritual nature of their programs or that they did not have sufficient capacity to administer a government grant. Such concerns are not unfounded.…”

“…As noted by Chaves & Tsitsos, congregational social service activity assumes collaboration. Pipes and Ebaugh (2002) and Pipes (2005, 2006) assume collaboration in the definition of their studies' focal organizationsfaith-based social service coalitions. Such a coalition is an entity that:…”

As faith-based organizations and congregations are increasingly relied upon for social service provision in the United States, the collaborative relationships formed for human service purposes regularly include one or more faith-related organizations. Despite the growing attention on faith-based organizations and their history of participation in social service delivery, research concerning their interaction with others in the public and private sectors remains quite sparse. This article describes the findings of a qualitative post hoc analysis of a national study examining fifteen diverse faith-based social service programs. Findings emerged in three categories: partners, purposes, and relationships.

“…Not only do party members donate more actively than nonmembers, but the decision to donate and the amount of the donation are also measurements of political performance. Some studies find that political beliefs and charitable donations are positively correlated (Layman 2001;Pipes Paula and Helen Rose 2002) for the reason that the party organization can enhance party members' sense of social responsibility through internal discourse and organizing activities.…”

Borrowing Weber's dual-interest model and "switchman" hypothesis, this study uses survey data to analyze the internal driving force and diversity in the charitable giving behaviors of private business owners from Wenzhou, China. The study found that (1) the political and religious beliefs of business owners can have a positive influence on donation behaviors; (2) there are significant differences in the direction, form, and consequences of the donation due to differences in these beliefs, highlighting the selection variation of different beliefs and the affinity of differential interests; and (3) the Chinese Communist Party, as an institutional environment outside of the power of business owners, is able to affect charitable giving by channeling the ideal interests of business owners.Keywords: Belief; Private business owners; Charitable donations "If money, according to Augier, 'comes into the world with a congenital blood-stain on one cheek, ' capital comes dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt" (Marx 1995, 825). This saying, which equates capital with "bloody money" (Lagemann 1989, 23), is the extreme expression of "evil" in moral judgment. It emphasizes the exploitation of noncapital owners by capital owners. The focus of this study is "capital with beliefs" that is associated with donation behaviors (Bradley 1987;Brooks 2006) and looks at the behavior and logic of interests behind capital owners' charitable donations or giving. Specifically, this paper focuses on private business owners in Wenzhou, China. Are their beliefs associated with their donation behaviors? If so, how are they related?Theory and literature review Three factors and donationsAs a social phenomenon, charitable donations are evidently related to transferring a donor's material interests. Why are people willing to make generous donations? The existing literature has focused on political, economic, and religious factors to explain this behavior.

“…(DeHaven, Hunter, Wilder, Walton, & Berry, 2004;Pipes & Ebaugh, 2002) Hunter and colleagues summarized earlier studies on the importance of strengthening community assets (e.g., neighborhood associations, church and schoolbased groups, library systems, social services,) and community building through implementing local interventions targeted to improve the built environment and social services. These types of efforts may improve the community's capacity to drive change with stronger social capital, trust, communications, and strengthened resources for residents to better manage life circumstances impacted by social determinants of health.…”
