Overview

Mission

Medical Mission International was founded to provide immediate medical and surgical care to people in under-served regions of the world who have limited access to health care services, particularly to women and children. We believe that quality medical care is a catalyst for economic development and breaking the cycle of poverty.

What it reported doing in 2024

Operation of a surgical center in el salvador

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 86% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
