Financial Assistance Grant Application – We know that the cost of medical mission trips can be prohibitive at times.
For providers who would like to attend a trip but do not have the financial resources, the Making a Difference Foundation wants to help you find a way to get the funds you need.
Our mission is to help ignite and support your passion to give back through medical mission trips.
If you already have a medical mission trip planned with another nonprofit but are still in need of some financial support, we want to help. If your medical mission trip meets our eligibility requirements, then we can help cover the program cost of the trip, with grants available up to $2,000.
The foundation will not cover any other expenses related to the medical mission trip, including travel. Please fill out the application and someone from our team will get back to you.
