What Joshua Project Initiative Inc does
Mission
Joshua Project's mission is to maintain a comprehensive list of the world's people groups, including their languages, locations, religious affiliations, and other data, to educate Christian churches and organizations and to help them plan and prioritize their charitable and humanitarian activities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Joshua Project's exempt purpose is to identify and research the world's least-reached people groups and mobilize the global Church to engage them with the gospel. In 2025, Joshua Project expanded its research capacity and global reach, growing its staff, establishing an independent board, and launching new tools, including Church Kits, a People Group Adoption System, and a digital, interactive Prayer Map, to equip churches to engage unreached peoples in prayer and outreach. The organization also broadened its funding base and formed new partnerships to sustain this work.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $862k to $797k (−8%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
92% of Joshua Project Initiative Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 91% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Joshua Project Initiative Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Joshua Project Initiative Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 84% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Joshua Project Initiative Inc.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
91% of Joshua Project Initiative Inc's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $36k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Texas, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $345k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
