GRANTS
"Improving oral health for Oregon's children."
These grants aim to address the following funding objectives:
- To provide emergency dental care for children who are disadvantaged and do not have access to care. Projects that demonstrate local support, including volunteer time contributed by dentists and other health professionals, will receive preference.
- To prevent dental disease through support of programs that provide dental health education to the community and to assist children and low income families to access dental health care. Special attention will be given to projects that teach children and parents the benefits of preventative dental health care, i.e. dental hygiene, fluoride supplements and baby bottle tooth decay syndrome.
The Foundation distributes approximately $90,000 annually. Grant amounts do not normally exceed $5,000 each.
