Counties, cities and towns of this Commonwealth are authorized to make appropriations of public funds, of personal property or of any real estate to any charitable institution or association, located within their respective limits or outside their limits if such institution or association provides services to residents of the locality; provided, such institution or association is not controlled in whole or in part by any church or sectarian society.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit any county or city from making contracts with any sectarian institution for the care of indigent, sick or injured persons.

Appropriations of public funds shall not be made to any such charitable institution or association for the purpose of paying any outstanding county, city or town taxes owed by such charitable institution or association.
