About Medical Teams International
Medical Teams International directs some of its largest recent grants to organizations serving people in need through food, shelter, and health-related support, with several awards in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. In 2023, Kingsway Charities received $1,128,422 and Christian Aid Ministries received $975,765, both for "help those in need." The pattern continues across later years with repeated support for groups addressing basic needs and crisis response, including Humanity & Inclusion, Birch Community Services, and Medair. The foundation’s funding language and recent grants point to a mix of direct relief, health access, and community support rather than a single narrow program model. Its recent giving also shows a strong connection to organizations working in Oregon and across nearby service networks, alongside national and international relief groups. Medical Teams International funds both faith-based and secular nonprofits, and the grant list includes recurring awards to several recipients across multiple years. That repeated support suggests the foundation often maintains relationships with grantees rather than relying only on one-time awards. The scale of the recent gifts ranges from modest operating support to major six- and seven-figure grants, showing a wide spread in award size.
What Medical Teams International Funds
Medical Teams International’s focus areas include emergency relief and basic needs assistance. In 2024, it gave $70,000 to Medair for "help those in need," and in 2025 it gave $22,321 to Portland Rescue Mission for the same purpose, showing support for organizations serving people facing immediate hardship. Health access is another clear theme. The foundation awarded $48,178 to Map International in 2024 and $17,775 to Wallace Medical Concern in 2025. Its grant list also includes Virginia Garcia and Virginia Garcia Memorial Health - Cornelius, which points to support for community-based care in Oregon. The portfolio reaches into community services and workforce-linked health training as well. In 2024, Clackamas Service Center received $59,007, while George Fox University Nursing Program received $17,587. Those grants sit alongside support for groups working in food assistance, homelessness, and local service delivery.
How Medical Teams International Gives
Typical grant size sits at $8,282 at the 25th percentile, $13,502 at the median, and $27,152 at the 75th percentile. The recent record also includes several much larger awards, so the distribution is layered rather than tightly clustered. Recipients appear across multiple years, especially Birch Community Services, Humanity & Inclusion, William Temple House, Virginia Garcia, and Clackamas Service Center, which indicates recurring support rather than a purely one-time pattern. Medical Teams International is a private foundation, and the grants shown here are operating-style support for direct service organizations. The data does not show an application process.
