CHG Healthcare Foundation

What CHG Healthcare Foundation does

CHG Healthcare Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2016 (originally as the Making a Difference Foundation, renamed in 2025) and headquartered in Midvale, Utah. It is a controlled subsidiary of CHG Healthcare Services, Inc., operating alongside CHG's healthcare staffing brands including CompHealth, Weatherby Healthcare, and Global Medical Staffing. The foundation employs 1-10 staff and is led by President Julie Sibthorp, with a Community Impact Director and a 10+ member board that includes CHG Healthcare leadership.

The foundation's core business is grant-making and volunteer coordination for healthcare providers and CHG employees. Its three primary programs are: (1) Individual Provider Grants of up to $2,000 to help licensed medical professionals cover participation costs for medical mission trips with vetted nonprofit partners; (2) CHG Healthcare Employee Grants that match employee volunteerism with financial support to local nonprofits; and (3) Humanitarian Relief Grants that fund vetted nonprofits responding to natural disasters and global crises. In 2025, the foundation donated $1,120,652 across 200 nonprofit partners, supported 173 providers on medical missions in 30+ countries, and directed $265,000 to humanitarian relief efforts.

The foundation operates as a donation-funded nonprofit with no proprietary technology. Operations run on third-party platforms including Grants Connect for grant applications and Stripe for donation processing. Its revenue model is exclusively philanthropic contributions, with donation tiers ranging from $10 to $100 or custom amounts via credit card. The foundation is not investment-eligible in the conventional sense; it is a controlled corporate-affiliated foundation structured to amplify CHG Healthcare's brand and social impact rather than to generate financial returns.
