The Making a Difference Foundation was born out of the compassion and generosity of the employees at CHG Healthcare. Each year these incredible people give of their time, resources, and money, to make their communities a better place. In December of 2016 the executive team of CHG Healthcare created the Making a Difference Foundation with the belief that every person can create a ripple effect of positive change in the world.

The Making a Difference Foundation exists to ignite and support the volunteer passions of CHG employees and medical providers in their communities and around the world. We also provide financial support to nonprofit organizations who give humanitarian relief in times of natural disasters, conflicts, and other hardships.

In practical and actionable ways we achieve our mission by focusing in four main areas. Medical Mission Opportunities We partner with world-class nonprofits to offer medical mission opportunities to healthcare providers. These missions often help providers reconnect with their passion for practicing medicine and bring their services to people and places in need. If you are a healthcare provider or a medical mission nonprofit and would like to partner with us, please contact us. Individual Provider Grants Each year we provide grants to healthcare providers who have found their perfect mission but need financial support to offset program costs. If you need financial support to go on a mission, please read about our Financial Assistance Grants. Sustainable Healthcare Grants We provide multi-year healthcare grants to nonprofit organizations that deliver direct healthcare services or healthcare education to underserved communities in the areas where CHG Healthcare offices are located. Local Grants We provide grants to local organizations whose missions match the passions of CHG employees. Causes that matter most to them receive an extra financial boost from us. If you are a CHG employee and would like more information, please check out our page on the intranet.
