GIVE
Three things your gift can do.
We've kept this simple. Every gift to CanIL goes to one of three places — a student headed for the field, the institute that trains them, or the software that supports faithful translation. Pick the one that moves you.
The Awards Fund
Help a student reach the field.
Most CanIL students are bound for years of service among minoritized language communities. A scholarship is the first link in that chain — it turns a calling into a credential, and makes sure money is never the reason someone can't come.
General Operations
Keep the institute running.
Scholarships and software get the attention, but none of it happens without the unglamorous core: faculty teaching, classrooms open, the daily work of running an institute well. Operating gifts are the steadiest, most flexible support you can give — they go straight to where the need is greatest.
TaBiThA
Semantic Quality for Bible Translation
Meaning doesn't translate itself — TaBiThA makes sure it emerges faithfully. Built on two decades of clause-by-clause biblical semantic analysis, TaBiThA surfaces what is most at risk of being lost: subtle shifts in meaning, implicit information, distinctions the target language requires but the source doesn't show. Its applications range from complete Scripture resources to real-time guidance for translation teams — alongside AI-assisted editing, community-based translation, and oral drafting. Many communities still wait for Scripture. Your gift helps them receive it faithfully.
