Our MACULA Biblical datasets form the core of an ecosystem designed to give Bible translation teams insight into the original Greek and Hebrew languages as they work to translate the Bible. In August 2023, the people, IP and technology of Clear Bible were absorbed by Biblica, a key partner, who will continue on the mission to make the Bible available in every language. In 2024, Clear will terminate the 501(c)(3).

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
