Project Name: Establishing an Alliance Project Funding Function
Contact: info@wycliffe.net
Start date: October 2024
End date: September 2027
Summary
The Wycliffe Global Alliance offers leadership, influence, and service within Bible translation movements. This is achieved through various initiatives offered by the Alliance Leadership Team and the Area teams.
In the past, the Alliance operations and projects were funded by assessment income from Alliance organisations. Our new strategy is for all of the Alliance to collectively fund specific projects as they arise. At the core of this, we are seeking to put our values (which were crafted in community with Alliance organisations) into practice. This means that we no longer automatically collect annual funding from Alliance organisations. Instead, we work with Alliance organisations on projects and seek funding from the community to meet key needs.
Currently, the Alliance does not have an active function that spearheads fundraising and coordinates the management of sponsored projects. There is also the need for the Alliance to put in place appropriate project management systems and structures. This project is necessary to ensure that the Alliance has adequate funding to effectively implement key initiatives. It will serve as a catalyst for sustainable ongoing fundraising efforts.
The Alliance is launching a transformative initiative to establish a dedicated Alliance Project Funding Function. This effort aims to enhance the Alliance’s capacity to mobilize and manage financial resources to support strategic Bible translation and missional projects across its global network. With over 100 Alliance organizations engaged in serving more than 2,000 language communities, the need for a sustainable and community-centered funding model has never been greater. This three-year project (October 2024 – September 2027) will lay the foundation for long-term impact by strengthening project management systems, equipping staff, and cultivating strong partnerships with funding organisations, to expand the reach of Bible translation efforts and ensure that God’s Word continues to transform lives in the heart languages of communities around the world.
