Answers for your pastor or missions committee
What does our gift enable?
$500 a month launches a new language in the ethnē app each year, and supports the community using it through their first year. $1,000 a month launches two. (Average launch cost; translators decide when and what they publish.)
Can we pick which translation we launch, or suggest a new one?
Please contact us with the specific details of the translation and a link to it, if you have one. What we add next depends on local demand in the Last Mile and our ability to get permissions.
Does this gift fund translation?
No. ethnē does not translate. Translators translate, on their timeline. Your gift launches their finished work to the people it was made for.
Who does our church give to?
A top-rated 501(c)(3) nonprofit that manages hundreds of charitable projects is our fiscal sponsor. Giving details are handed to you personally.
Is it tax-deductible?
Yes, for gifts through the fiscal sponsor.
Why is ethnē structured this way?
We operate as The Discipleship Platform, LLC, under a fiscal sponsor, so our people’s names stay off public records. Where we work, that protects our team and those we serve while ensuring the same governance required of any non-profit.

Questions Champions ask
Who is on my team?
Whoever joins alongside you, until the memberships reach $500 a month. We’ll email you the moment the team is complete. We don’t publish members’ names within the team or publicly.
How do I know when our team’s language is launched?
We’ll send you an email to celebrate.
Can I invite people to my team?
Yes — that’s how teams fill fastest. Invite your family, friends, or small group Bible study to join in. Contact us if there’s any way we can support you.
Can my team pick which translation we launch, or suggest a new one?
Please contact us with the specific details of the translation and a link to it, if you have one. What we add next depends on local demand in the Last Mile and our ability to get permissions.
Is it tax-deductible?
No, and here’s why: Champion membership is a subscription for services. We operate as The Discipleship Platform, LLC so our people’s names stay off public records. Where we work, that protects our team and those we serve. If tax-advantaged giving matters to you, reach out.

Be a Catalytic Champion
Whether you’re stewarding a business your family built or you recently sold the one you started, you know what it takes to see an opening before other people do, go all in, and see it through.
Here is the opening. Bible translation is accelerating faster than it ever has. Delivery is not. The Scripture is ready. The church is ready.
Your impact gift launches every language that follows, for years to come, in the most unreached places on earth.
Four family foundations have given $50,000 or more, for multiple years running. Will you be the next?
