01What it does

What Sacra Script Ministries does

Mission

Sacra Script Ministries is a Christian ministry whose principal activity is teaching and explaining the Bible. This includes presenting various courses and seminars and producing and distributing Bible study materials, including audio, video, digital, and written works to understand and illuminate Scripture. Contributions to this ministry are used to translate materials into various languages and supply them to churches in need with minimal administrative costs.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. We developed and added another 150 Bible exhibits to our Bible study app, Bible Ventures. Each exhibit teaches and connects vital people, places, and events to the story of Scripture. The app is available in English, Spanish, and Chinese and used by over 60,000 people in over 100 countries worldwide on the Apple, Android, and Windows platforms. The program continues to be developed and used continuously, gaining new users daily.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $18k → $2k.

3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 95% 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 SACRA SCRIPT MINISTRIES’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

SACRA SCRIPT MINISTRIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

95% 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 SACRA SCRIPT MINISTRIES.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are

95% of SACRA SCRIPT MINISTRIES'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 $6k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Texas funders.

TX

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $110k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
