My brother is an officer in the Salvation Army. He has stated repeatedly that he doesn't care what source of money they receive. It is better to get the money out of the hands of sinners to let them use it for more sin!
But, what does this statement say to us about how we are to facilitate our worship?
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a sleeper, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God. (Deuteronomy 23:18)

Does this directly address the Pagan worship practices, which included the use of prostitutes, female and male ("dog" referring to the latter) as part of the rituals?

If it is not known where the money comes from, should it be up to the believer receiving the money to ask, or up to the person giving the money to admit without being asked. I find that this is something similar to the quandary that some people in pagan governed societies had to put up with in relation to food items, concerning whether they were offered to idols or not before being offered in the market place for consumption.
