Medical Transportation Grant Program (MTGP)

Loving people is at the Heart of Southwest Airlines®, and one of the many ways we connect with communities is through our Medical Transportation Grant Program (MTGP). This program provides round trip tickets to nonprofit hospitals and medical transportation organizations lessening the financial burden on patients and their families when travel is required for specialized lifesaving or life-changing medical care.

MTGP Partners

In 2022, Southwest donated free transportation valued at more than $4 million to 76 hospitals and organizations nationwide. Since the program was launched in 2007, we’ve donated more than $42 million in free transportation to 117 organizations across 28 states.

Southwest is proud to play a role in supporting patients through their medical journey and connecting them to what's important in their lives.

Note, Southwest allows participating nonprofit hospitals and medical transportation nonprofit organizations the freedom to determine how to distribute the tickets to patients and/or caregivers. Therefore, patients and/or caregivers seeking assistance need to contact the program partners directly, using the links or contact information listed below, as each partner has its own guidelines for administration of these tickets.
