Mission

THE 4.2.20 FOUNDATION, INC. IS COMMITTED TO ACCELERATING ACCESS AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WHOLE WORD OF GOD FOR EVERY LANGUAGE, CULTURE, AND PEOPLE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO ADVANCE ACCESS AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WHOLE WORD OF GOD FOR EVERY LANGUAGE, CULTURE, AND PEOPLE.

  • THE WHOLE WORD INSTITUTE (WWIN) RESOURCES THE BIBLE TRANSLATION MOVEMENT BY TRAINING TRANSLATORS AND CONSULTANTS IN BIBLICAL HEBREW, ORAL TRANSLATION, AND DEAF TRANSLATION. IT ALSO PREPARES HEBREW SPEAKERS, BOTH JEWISH AND ARAB, TO BE TRANSLATION CONSULTANTS AND CHECKERS. THE WWIN DRAWS FROM THE EXPERTISE OF PREMIER LOCAL INSTITUTIONS WHILE ENHANCING LEARNING IN THE UNIQUE CONTEXT OF THE HOLY LAND AND ITS PEOPLE. THE GOAL OF THE WHOLE WORD INSTITUTE IS TO ENABLE THE TRAINING OF SUFFICIENT CONSULTANTS AND MOTHER TONGUE TRANSLATORS SO THAT TRANSLATION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT CAN BEGIN IN EVERY LANGUAGE BY THE YEAR 2033. DESPITE TWO WARS, WE WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING OUR RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS IN THE HOLY LAND, WHILE CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM (HEBREW EXTENSION LEARNING PROGRAM) WHICH SERVES MANY MORE TRANSLATORS AND CONSULTANTS GLOBALLY, TO ENABLE EXPONENTIAL MULTIPLICATION OF WHOLE BIBLE TRANSLATIONS.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Declared on its 2024 return

  • WHOLE WORD FOUNDATION

    501(C)(3) · SUPPORT OF BIBLE TRANSLATION TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF RELATED RESOURCES · UK · controlled entity

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
