About Global Seed Planters
A translation grant sits near the center of Global Seed Planters’ recent giving: $42,000 to Jesus Film Project for translating the Jesus Film into Sarikr. That pattern matches a broader portfolio built around Christian mission, rural community development, and local leadership development in neglected rural regions. The foundation also uses project-based grants to support oral Bible education, anti-trafficking prevention, food relief, wells, demonstration gardens, and worker support. Recent grants show a mix of direct ministry and practical aid. Global Seed Planters gave $84,000 to Asia Harvest for support of gospel work among indigenous communities, and $19,200 to Forge Forward for humanitarian aid and worker support. Another $12,000 went to New Light Nepal for anti-sex-trafficking training in 10 villages, while Joshua Nations received $11,080 for an oral Bible school project. Across these grants, the foundation backs local leaders, church-based partners, and initiatives aimed at rural villages and hard-to-reach populations.
What Global Seed Planters Funds
One clear theme is media and language access for oral communities. Global Seed Planters gave $42,000 to Jesus Film Project for translation of the Jesus Film into the Sarikr language, and that aligns with its stated interest in religious media translation and oral scripture teaching. A second theme is anti-trafficking work tied to village-level prevention. The foundation awarded $12,000 to New Light Nepal for anti-sex trafficking training in 10 villages, which fits its focus on vulnerable women and girls. A third thread is education and leader training. Joshua Nations received $11,080 for an oral Bible school project, showing support for training that equips local leaders in story-based ministry. Humanitarian aid also appears in the portfolio, including worker support through Forge Forward.
How Global Seed Planters Gives
Global Seed Planters’ recent grant sizes range from $11,080 to $84,000, with a median of $19,200 and a third quartile of $42,000. The largest grant is more than seven times the median, which points to a portfolio that combines major anchor awards with smaller project-level grants. The recent list shows only 2025 grants, so the pattern visible here is a current-year snapshot rather than a multi-year recurrence. The foundation is a public charity, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Its grants appear project-specific and partnership-based, with purposes tied to translation, training, aid, and ministry support.
