Where the money goes

    Our Four Projects

    We fund four specific things. Each one removes a different barrier, and each page below states plainly what the barrier is and what a given amount actually pays for.

    Choose where to give

    Two of these projects fund access to training — scholarships and translation for the DNA program. The other two fund infrastructure for local churches — a digital school and live translation. They are complementary: training a leader is of limited use if their church has no way to deliver what they learned, and a platform is of limited use to a leader nobody trained.

    Project 1 · Recurring

    Sponsor DNA Scholarships

    Remove cost as the reason a pastor cannot get leadership training.

    Leadership training is priced for churches that can already afford it, which reliably excludes the pastors who would benefit most. A scholarship covers a leader's complete 12-month DNA Mentorship — live sessions, guidance for their own congregation, books and platform access — at no cost to them. Church bundles cover a whole leadership team, because a single trained leader inside an untrained team rarely survives the transition.

    $99 covers one leader's full 12-month mentorship

    Project 2 · One-time

    Fund DNA Translation

    Create the curriculum in languages where it does not exist at all.

    Every language the DNA curriculum does not exist in is a region where the program cannot be offered at all — no scholarship or platform can fix that. A translation grant funds a full production pass into one language: curriculum, workbooks, subtitling and native-speaker review. Paid once, it then serves every leader in that language group indefinitely, which makes it the highest-leverage gift on this site.

    Project 3 · Recurring

    Sponsor a Church Digital School

    Give a small church a discipleship platform it could never buy.

    For most churches discipleship stops in the parking lot: ninety minutes on Sunday, then nothing structured until the next Sunday. A sponsorship gives a beneficiary church a full digital school for a year — an AI-assisted course builder, progress tracking and certificates, and multilingual delivery — free to them. We purchase the licence from our partner W2G and grant it; the church never pays.

    $4,497/year sponsors one church for a year

    Project 4 · Recurring

    Sponsor AI Live Translation

    Let a visitor follow the sermon in their own language, this Sunday.

    A visitor who cannot follow the sermon usually does not come back, and the traditional fixes — human interpreters, headset systems — are out of reach for a congregation of a hundred people. This sponsorship covers 11 hours a month of AI live translation in 24+ languages. The preacher uses the microphone they already have; the visitor scans a QR code and listens on their own phone.

    $189/month gives one church 11 hours a month

    A note on the numbers

    Every figure on these pages describes what a gift buys — an allocation. None of them is a claim about results we have already produced. Snowball Fund is in its first funding cycle and has no verified impact figures of its own yet; what we can point to is the record of the programs we fund, always attributed to them. When we have our own numbers, they go on the transparency page.
