This will explore strategic organizational structures for Christian nonprofits, particularly those engaged in social services like rescue missions. They examine how these organizations utilize parent-subsidiary models, including separate non-profit entities and for-profit social enterprises, to achieve various goals such as liability protection, access to diverse funding streams (like government grants and Medicaid), and vocational training. The sources highlight the complex legal and administrative challenges associated with accepting public funds, including prohibitions on using government money for "inherently religious activities" and the importance of maintaining a "legal firewall" to prevent "piercing the corporate veil."
