    About Illuminations Foundation

    Illuminations Foundation Inc centers its giving on one clear aim: making Scripture accessible in every language. The foundation’s stated goal is to eradicate Bible poverty and provide God’s Word to all people in this generation by 2033, and its recent grants show a sustained emphasis on Bible translation work. The largest recent grant in the data went to Seed Company for Bible translation, at $24,892,307 in 2025. Another major recurring recipient is National Christian Charitable Fdn Inc, which received large support grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, including $23,358,617 and $17,999,789. The pattern points to a funder that uses substantial project-based grants and long-running support to back organizations working on translation, distribution, and language access. Its portfolio also reaches into specialized channels such as oral Bible storytelling, audio Scripture, and sign language access. Across the recent grants list, the foundation repeatedly backs established ministry and translation organizations rather than making small, scattered awards.

    What Illuminations Foundation Funds

    Bible translation is the dominant theme in the recent grants list. Seed Company received $18,619,403 in 2024 and $20,832,759 in 2023 for Bible translation, showing repeated large-scale support for that work. Wycliffe Bible Translators also received multiple grants, including $4,173,383 in 2025 and $3,895,133 in 2024, both tagged Bible translation. The foundation also supports organizations working on accessibility formats. Deaf Bible Society received $457,578 in 2025 and $205,600 in 2023 for Bible translation, while Spoken Worldwide received $454,174 in 2025 and $130,000 in 2024 for Bible translation. In addition, Faith Comes by Hearing received grants labeled evangelism in 2025 and 2024, indicating support for Scripture-centered ministry beyond translation alone.

    How Illuminations Foundation Gives

    Grant sizes range from a median of $316,666 to a 75th percentile of $2,485,469, with a 25th percentile of $130,032. The recent record shows both very large, multi-million-dollar awards and smaller six-figure grants. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Seed Company, National Christian Charitable Fdn Inc, Wycliffe Bible Translators, Biblica, Strategic Resource Group Inc, Unfolding Word, and Spoken Worldwide, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation is a private operating-style grantmaker rather than a funder of individuals, and the available data shows project-based grants with programmatic and capacity-building support.
