Abstract
In the United States partnerships between government and (sometimes religious) nonprofit organizations provide assistance and resources to those in need. The 1996 Charitable Choice legislation reflects a longstanding and ongoing constitutional debate about the meaning of First Amendment religion clauses. It also reflects a practical question: whether religious organizations can effectively carry out the government's social welfare goals while respecting the liberty of recipients and preserving their own autonomy and authenticity. The arguments for and against Charitable Choice in the United States may be relevant to other nations, as a brief consideration of contemporary Vietnam illustrates.
