Welcome to The Wycliffe Foundation

The Wycliffe Foundation is a ministry of gift planning supporting our partners in global Bible translation efforts, including Wycliffe Bible Translators USA, JAARS, SIL, The Seed Company and the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics. 

The Foundation offers opportunities for people to support Bible translation, linguistics training and literacy efforts now and after their lifetimes using financial instruments such as wills, trust and annuities.  We invite you to take some time on our Web site to learn more about what we do, and we look forward to serving you through our ministry of gift planning.
