Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

UNKNOWN NATIONS IS CHRISTIAN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT DELIVERS THE WORD OF GOD TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AREAS OF THE WORLD THAT ARE LESS THAN 2% CHRISTIAN. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH OUR NETWORK OF INDIGENOUS LEADERS USING SOLAR POWERED AUDIO BIBLES (THE TREASURE) IN THE HEART LANGUAGE OF THE PEOPLE RECEIVING THEM, ALONG WITH DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING AND HUMANITARIAN AID.

Activities or mission (Part I)

UNKNOWN NATIONS IS A CHRISTIAN NONPROFIT FOCUSED ON REACHING THE UNREACHED IN AREAS THAT ARE LESS THAN 2% CHRISTIAN. THESE ARE THE MOST ZERO-ACCESS, BARRIER RIDDEN, SPOKEN WORD RELIANT PEOPLE GROUPS ON THE PLANET. THIS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH OUR THREE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES OF CREATING PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE WORD OF GOD, TARGETED HUMANITARIAN PROJECTS AND DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING.

  • DISTRIBUTION OF THE TREASURE IN THE AREA FROM 10 DEGREES TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR (THE 10/40 WINDOW) WHERE THERE IS THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF UNREACHED PEOPLE. THE TREASURE IS SUPPLIED WITH TEACHING AND LISTENING GROUPS ESTABLISHED WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF PLANTING A LOCAL CHURCH

    Expenses $2,369,348 · Grants $1,792,073 · Revenue $470,169

  • DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING. DISCIPLESHIP CENTERS AND OUTPOSTS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED TO TRAIN THE MOST PROMISING LOCAL LEADERS TO TEACH, ESTABLISH LISTENING GROUPS AND START AN INDIGENOUS CHURCH PLANTING MOVEMENT. THIS DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING CAN RANGE FROM A 1 OR 2 DAY TRAINING SESSION TO A MULTI-YEAR PROGRAM FOR YOUTH.

    Expenses $1,253,012 · Grants $975,264

  • HUMANITARIAN AID. VERY OFTEN THE UNREACHED AREAS ARE COMPRISED OF PEOPLE LIVING AT A SUBSISTENCE LEVEL. WHEN A NATURAL DISASTER OCCURS (FIRE, FLOOD, DROUGHT, ETC.), OR DISPLACEMENT DUE TO GOVERNMENT OR GROUP PERSECUTION, IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS THROUGH PROVISION OF HUMANITARIAN AID. WHILE THERE WE ARE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE AND TEACH ABOUT THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

    Expenses $502,536 · Grants $399,886

  • DOMESTIC EDUCATION - TEACHING ABOUT THE GREAT COMMISSION AND THE NEED FOR JESUS IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD.

    Expenses $284,538 · Grants $275,710 · Revenue $304,459

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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 11 November 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.
