Sharing the love of Jesus through healing hands

Welcome to Canvasback Missions

Are you wondering what we do? We send several medical mission teams to the Marshall Islands every year. Our mission field is growing too. Our volunteer medical professionals ministeries provide various kinds of medical and dental services to the people of the Micronesia Islands throughout the year.

It is phone-a-thon time for Canvasback Missions. When you donate to Canvasback Missions, your gift makes a big impact - every $1 you donate provides $4-20 worth of care. We are able to do this with volunteer medical teams, donated hospital equipment, and low administrative costs.

Want to help us? You can make a financial gift online or call us at: (800) 793-7245. Help us show the love of God through the gift of healing hands.

Diabetes Education To Improve Their Health

The Diabetes Wellness Center located on the island of Majuro, Marshall Islands, is a joint effort started by Canvasback Missions and the RMI Ministry of Health in 2005.  Canvasback Missions was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense, to prove that lifestyle changes in diet and exercise can successfully address diabetes in the Marshall Islands. The World Diabetes Foundation established the grant project to educate Marshallese school children and their parents on how to prevent and reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes and improve general health. This project was a collaborative effort with our Diabetes Wellness Center, the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health. The project included educational videos, read more about the project and see the videos.

Canvasback has received another award

The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.
