You have the opportunity to "Sponsor A Mission" for a donation of only $1,420. This is a perfect opportunity for companies, organizations, service clubs, scout troops or families to support Mercy Flight and see the results. We will send you a handwritten note telling you about the difference your contribution made with a patient about the mission you helped us complete.
As a result, Mercy Flight forgave more than $1.6 million last year (an average of $1,420 per mission)
for care provided to uninsured or under-insured patients.
Mercy Flight Western New York is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) corporation and relies on contributions from our supporters. While third party payors reimburse us a portion of each flight’s true cost, we still rely on additional funding from individual contributions, corporate donations, community fundraisers, and community grants. All donations are tax-deductible where nearly $0.89 of every dollar is used directly toward program expenses.
