Because medical mission funds are limited, one or more of the following restrictions may be applied in order to distribute available funds:
- Individuals who have received Encompass funding fewer than three (3) times will receive priority.
- Individuals in jobs below management level will receive funding priority.
- Maximum of three (3) people on same medical mission trip may receive travel funding.
- Maximum of two (2) people on same medical mission trip may receive medical supply funding.
- One grant per applicant per calendar year.
** Due to the number of applicants and the total funding available at any time, grants may be approved for less than the requested funding. The Encompass Cares Foundation Medical Mission Committee encourages applicants to seek funding from a variety of sources (church, family, friends).
