My source is Giving USA 2009. The report can be found in their book that you can purchase online (https://www.givinginstitute.org) and in some press releases from this past summer. The amount given to faith based organizations is about 35%. Let me know if need more information. Diane,

I met with our Executive Committee yesterday and one of the members questioned your statistic on the flow of money. You indicated that the $308 billion contributions to charities in 2008 broke down this way: 5% from corporations, 13% from foundations and 82% from individuals (including bequests). Do you have the source for this so we can see the individual breakdown? We suspect a significant portion comes from contributions to religious organizations... Thanks!
