DFO Community Grant Program
The Dental Foundation of Oregon Community Grant Program helps provide funds to nonprofit dental clinics/programs to support 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. Consideration is also given to programs that support dental education and teach children and parents the benefits of preventive dental care, and to programs that support systemic change including the implementation of community water fluoridation.
Since its inception, the DFO Community Grant Program has provided over one million dollars in grants to support dental care for the underserved in Oregon.
