What T4 Global Inc does
Mission
Spokens Mission is Deliver Truth...Where Written Words Cant Go. Most missiologists will agree that 2/3 of the world is populated with oral learners. Among this population, a person learns best by listening and interacting with stories, songs, dramas, village proverbs, poetry, or dance. If you were to remove the highly literate population of North America and Western Europe, over 80 percent of the global population learns by listening and engaging together with the information. These people, the hardest to reach with the Gospel, need to hear for the first time or in a new way the Truth that will give them life - eternal and life abundant here on earth.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Oral Bible Translation: Oral Bible Translation is our most rapidly growing program. In 2023, 10 additional languages were begun with the goal to provide a full Bible translation in an oral form, without plans to put into a text form. The total number of languages in process now are 21. There are approximately 1,000 languages without any scripture available and it is estimated that as many as 2/3 of these would need an oral Bible, rather than a text Bible because of either no written language available or lack of active readers in the culture. It is our goal to greatly increase our capacity to help meet this overwhelming need.

BTWM has a small FM radio station in north eastern Ghana that broadcasts, among other things, stories based on Scripture and audio recordings of the Bible. They also have a clean water distribution company that bottles and bags clean water for sale in the region. All of their profits go to support the radio station and educational facilities for children.

Now in the 8th year of this Coaching Program, we have codified our methodology and have begun equipping other organizations to use it. Currently, we have 24 new partners and are working in over 130 different languages. As partner ministries begin to see their success in using these methods to deepen their impact where they work, their efforts strengthen, and they begin launching programs of their own.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $924k to $2.2M (+134%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of T4 Global Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $1.1M → $1.4M.
9 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% 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 T4 Global 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
T4 Global Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
79% 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 T4 Global Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 54% · 2019 30% · 2020 61% · 2021 30% · 2022 73% · 2023 37% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
54% of T4 Global Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 82% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
53% of T4 Global 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 $5.2M that is directly attributable, 97% of it comes from funders outside Texas, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
