Language development is the series of ongoing planned actions that a language community takes to ensure that its language continues to serve its changing social, cultural, political, economic and spiritual needs and goals.

To do this, SIL assists with multilingual education programs to help students learn effectively through both their mother tongues and other languages. In addition to working with communities at the local level, SIL is an acknowledged leader in formal academic programs for the components of cross-cultural language development work. SIL works in partnership with more than 25 institutions around the world to offer classroom and online training in applied linguistics.

Content covers a variety of subjects such as primers, folk stories, textbooks, health and hygiene guidelines, games, history, etc. In addition to new materials, local workers are trained to adapt or translate literature from other languages on subjects such as nutrition, farming, health (including HIV/AIDS) and Scripture texts.

SchL_P04_S00_L00 Schedule L, Part IV The amount in column c is compensation for services rendered to SIL International. However this amount is paid by an unrelated organization. Even though the instructions for Sch L do not specifically address payments by unrelated organizations for compensation to interested persons, these payments are the same character as would be required if paid by related organizations and we believe that disclosure is consistent with the intent of the other sections of this form and that it presents an accurate picture of the financial relationship of the Directors of the organization.

F990_P01_S00_L05 Form 990, Part I, Line 5 SIL International has 102 employees in the United States; however, there are approximately 427 employees outside the United States and those salaries and wages are reflected on Part IX line 7.
F990_P01_S00_L06 Form 990, Part I, Line 6 A high percentage of the work of SIL International is done by individuals whose time is donated by organizations which are members of the Wycliffe Global Alliance. Those individuals are included on this line, and the value of their labor is reflected in Part XI line 6.
F990_P06_S0A_L06 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 SIL International is a non profit organization that has members. These members are the same individuals whose salaries are recorded as donated labor, described in the Sch O comment for Part 1 Line 6. The rights of membership are (a) voting on referendums and bylaw amendments, (b) representation at a delegate conference which elects the Board of Directors and may adopt policy positions for the corporation, and (c) voice and vote in certain local strategy and operational matters which are not addressed by central policies. These individuals do not have rights to any distribution of assets upon dissolution of the organization.
F990_P06_S0A_L07a Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a The entire Board (independent and non-independent Directors) is elected by a delegate conference of the members. See Line 6 comment.
F990_P06_S0A_L07b Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b Board actions do not require approval of any other party. However, Bylaw Admendments must be approved by the membership. Also, a certain percentage of the membership (several ways to qualify for this percentage) or a majority of the Board may determine that an issue needs to be taken to the membership as a referendum. These could address, reverse or modify a Board action.
F990_P06_S0B_L11b Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Before filing, Form 990 is reviewed by the Board Treasurer, who then sends it to the Audit Committee and Board members for review and comment.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Once a year the officers, directors and key employees of SIL International complete a questionnaire disclosing any conflicts of interest they have. The Treasurer of the Board reviews these questionnaires.
F990_P06_S0C_L19 Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Audited financial statements and IRS Form 990 are available on the SIL International website. Governing documents and conflict of interest are available on request.
F990_P09_S00_L07 Form 990, Part IX, Line 7 Not all expense reported on this line is reportable on Form 941. A high percentage is for non US citizens employed and performing services outside the United States. In addition, The 3,833 staff listed as volunteers on Part 1, Line 6 is valued as labor donated to SIL International (and thus not reportable for 990 purposes). The value of that donated labor is reflected in Part XI lines 6 and 9.
F990_P09_S00_L11e Form 990, Part IX, Line 11e SIL has contribution income, but shows very little fund raising expense. The reason is that the contribution income on Part VIII, line 1f is all from member organizations of Wycliffe Global Alliance. It is granted through a project proposal process. These proposals are prepared by managers in the normal course of their duties as program managers and does not represent a significant amount of time for them. However, a small % of certain line items on Part IX has been allocated to fund raising expense.
F990_P11_S00_L09 Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Donated services and use of facilities $89,865,753
