The 2 Verb Foundation concentrates virtually all of its giving on Christian scripture work, funding organizations that produce and distribute Bible translations. Its sole recorded grant — a single, sizable contribution to Wycliffe Bible Translators — indicates a clear, mission-driven support for expanding access to the Bible in other languages worldwide. The foundation appears focused on evangelical translation and outreach rather than a broad portfolio of causes.
Highly concentrated: one large, single grant to a religious translation organization (no evidence of repeated or diversified giving).
A single grant for Bible translations accounts for most of the foundation’s recorded giving in 2023: $153,389 to Wycliffe Bible Translators in Orlando for Bible translations. That award sits alongside a small set of general fund donations that point to a tightly defined mission rather than a broad grant portfolio. 2 Verb Foundation Inc’s named support is centered on Christian scripture work, especially organizations involved in translation and distribution. The recent record also includes Harvest Church in Tulsa, Beeyond Borders in Chester, South Carolina, Kog Ministries in Uniontown, and Chrsitian Vision for China in Glendale Heights, showing that the foundation’s giving reaches multiple faith-based groups while staying within a consistent religious frame. The overall pattern suggests a foundation that supports evangelical Christian mission organizations and linguistic work tied to making scripture available in additional languages. Its public grant record is narrow, but the grants that do appear are aligned around scripture accessibility and faith-based outreach.
Bible translation is the clearest theme in the grant record. The foundation gave $153,389 to Wycliffe Bible Translators for Bible translations, which places scripture production at the center of its work. Beyond that major award, the grant list shows support for Christian organizations through unrestricted or general-purpose funding. It gave $15,000 to Harvest Church as a general fund donation and $10,000 to Beeyond Borders as a general fund donation. The same pattern appears in smaller grants to Kog Ministries, also for general fund support, and to Chrsitian Vision for China. Across these awards, the common thread is backing faith-based groups connected to scripture, mission activity, or Christian outreach rather than funding a wide mix of secular causes.
The typical grant size is modest relative to the largest award: the p25 is $8,000, the median is $10,000, and the p75 is $15,000. The 2023 record shows one outlier at $153,389, followed by several grants clustered around the foundation’s median range. All recorded grants are in the United States, and the grant list suggests a small, concentrated portfolio rather than frequent high-volume giving. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The available record points to straightforward grant support, including general fund donations and programmatic support for translation work.
