Support the Mission

Fuel the
Work

Every initiative at Brilliance Labs starts with a problem the church needs to solve and a team willing to build the answer. Your generosity provides the fuel: funding for grants, development of new tools, research that shapes real strategy, and operational support for everything in between. We steward every dollar with the seriousness it deserves.

Brilliance — Ignited.

Where
Your Gift
Goes

01

Grants to Local Ministries

Direct funding to churches and nonprofits serving the Portland metro area. Each grant supports a specific project with real accountability and measurable outcomes, resourcing local congregations and ministries doing gospel-centered work in their communities.

02

Financial Infrastructure for Missions

Frontier Finance consulting and Bitcoin-based tools that help mission organizations move money across borders faster, cheaper, and with fewer restrictions. This work directly serves missionaries carrying the Gospel to the hardest-to-reach places on earth.

03

Research & Development

From AI integration for ministry operations to published research on faith and technology, the lab invests in the ideas that will shape how the church serves, leads, and innovates for the next decade.

04

Operational Excellence

A lean team running a growing portfolio of initiatives. Your gift keeps the lights on, the research flowing, and the grants moving. Low overhead, high stewardship.

Bitcoin Giving Details

Why Give
in Bitcoin

Hold or Spend — Your Choice

A portion of our endowment is held as a Bitcoin treasury. When you donate BTC, you can request that we hold your gift for a minimum of four years before spending it, allowing it to appreciate alongside our treasury. Or you can designate it for immediate ministry use. Either way, your sats go to work for the Kingdom.

Tax Advantage

Donating appreciated Bitcoin directly to a 501(c)(3) avoids capital gains tax entirely. If you bought BTC at $500 and it's now worth $50,000, donating it directly means you can deduct the full market value without paying any tax on the gain. For early holders, this is one of the most efficient ways to give.

Give Anonymously

Bitcoin was built for financial privacy, and we respect that. All donor information fields on our Bitcoin giving form are optional. If you prefer to give anonymously, simply skip the name and email fields. Your gift will be received and put to work the same way — no questions asked.

Foundations & Major Donors

Partner
With Us

Our endowment covers Portland grants and the bare essentials to run the lab. We aren't asking you to keep the lights on. We're inviting you to scale Kingdom infrastructure. Our initiatives are built for sustainability with strong revenue models, but they need investment to reach their full potential. Your partnership is growth capital for work that's already proving itself.

501(c)(3) Status

Registered nonprofit. EIN 87-1494224. All gifts are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Endowment-Backed

Our endowment provides baseline stability. Your investment doesn't keep the doors open. It opens new ones.

Built for Sustainability

Every initiative includes built-in revenue sources. Your gift isn't a lifeline. It's growth capital for work designed to sustain itself.

Governed & Accountable

Active board of directors spanning ministry, finance, media, and nonprofit leadership. Our Form 990 and financials are available upon request.

“The Brilliance Labs team manages to live on the cutting edge of mission funding and technological tooling. While I’ve learned and benefitted greatly from their expertise, I’m most impressed by their genuine Kingdom-mindedness and sensitivity. You wouldn’t expect tech guys to be so dialed in and well connected, but they are!”
