Establishment of The White House Faith Office

Presidential Action February 07, 2025 Document 1171

Summary

President Donald Trump has established the White House Faith Office to empower faith-based entities, community organizations, and houses of worship in serving families and communities across the United States. This initiative aims to ensure these groups can compete for federal funding and influence policy changes to enhance their service capabilities, with a strong emphasis on protecting religious liberty. The move could face legal and political scrutiny over the separation of church and state, but it underscores the administration's commitment to partnering with religious organizations to address social issues.
