No language left behind.
No community left behind.

Every interaction is an invitation to uphold human dignity.

MasterWord Foundation funds the work that protects the people behind every language: advancing language access, holding technology accountable, supporting those who carry the weight of difficult conversations, and fighting exploitation wherever language barriers leave people vulnerable.

MasterWord Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit born from more than three decades of doing business with heart. We exist because the work is bigger than what any single company can do alone, and because people everywhere deserve to be heard, expect safety, and have access to education, healthcare, and opportunity in the language they speak.

Founded by MasterWord Services and recognized by the IRS in December 2025, the Foundation operates across four interconnected domains: language access and rights, ethical AI in language services, trauma support for language professionals, and the fight against human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children.

of trauma-informed practice in supporting language professionals

Seven million people speak a Mayan language. Most can’t read or write it online.

We’re changing that, one keyboard, one glossary, one community at a time.

When AI enters the courtroom or the hospital as an interpreter, the stakes are human.

We helped set the standards and we’re making sure they’re followed.

Language barriers make vulnerable people invisible.

We work to make them seen and keep them safe.

Frontline professionals like interpreters and healthcare workers frequently face the effects of trauma on the job.

We believe they deserve real support and tools they can use everyday.

Yadira Lemus Milián is ten years old. She attends school in Tucurú, Guatemala, and she has a story she wants the world to read, written in Q’eqchi’, her native Mayan language, typed on a keyboard built specifically for her.

Every dollar you give protects a language, supports a life, or holds a technology accountable.
