Faith-Based Initiatives

There have been a number of Faith-Based Initiatives over the years.

• Under Secretary Cuomo, there was the Center for Community and Interfaith Partnerships;
• Secretaries Martinez, Jackson, and Preston had the Centers for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives; and
• Most recently, Secretary Donovan established the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.

None of these initiatives had a large amount of content on the website. However, there is some information from these offices/initiatives listed below.
