Medical Mission Trips
The Making a Difference Foundation works to assist healthcare providers to fulfill their humanitarian goals of helping underserved communities around the world through facilitating their participation in medical mission trips. Together with our nonprofit partners, we match you with your perfect medical mission experience. Best of all, we are here to help you navigate through the administrative and logistical process, and if needed, can help cover some of the trips program costs. If you’ve always wanted to go on a medical mission trip but didn’t think you had the time, expertise, or resources – we’re here to help!
We have three different types of trips, to help you get started on your journey to find the right medical mission.
Sponsored Trips
The Making a Difference Foundation sponsored trips are perfect for the busy medical professional that wants to go on a mission but might not know what is the best trip for them. We take care of all the details. We choose trips with our nonprofit partners that are fully vetted by our staff. From what to expect to what to pack, we have got you covered. The foundation offers grants to help cover most, if not all, of the program costs associated with the trip. You just need to pull out those frequent flyer miles and book a flight. But if even that seems daunting, we will offer assistance with our travel guru!
These trips fill up quickly, so be sure check each fall when we list our trips for the following year. Or you can join our mailing list to be the first to know when we have new trips.
Highlighted Trips
The Making a Difference Foundation selects four medical mission trips throughout the year that we think would be most interesting to our medical providers. Those who sign up for the trip with our nonprofit partner, on a first-come first-serve basis, can receive some help financially to offset their program costs for participating in the trip.

On all of these types of trips, the feedback we get is incredible! From the travel experience, to the healthcare and education provided, to the bonding experiences among team members – it truly can be a once in a lifetime experience.
In addition to our sponsored trips, we also post a variety of medical mission trip opportunities from our partners. Our sponsored and highlighted trips fill up quickly and we know they might not be for everyone. But we hope to help you find a trip that matches your passions!
We update our site frequently, so be sure to check back often to see what new trips we have listed.
