GRANTS AVAILABLE FROM HEALTHY SMILES, HEALTHY CHILDREN FOUNDATION


Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children is the Foundation of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.  Through August 18, HSHC is accepting applications for one year matching grants of up to $20,000 that support community-based activities to secure a dental home for children up to age 18 from families unable to afford dental care.  A “dental home” is that facility where the child is made to feel welcome and comfortable and receives care necessary for his/her oral health.  The grant monies can be used for a wide variety of services, such as dental care, clinic supplies and instruments, educational materials, take-home supplies, outreach to recruit participants in oral care delivery programs, etc.

For guidelines and applications, go to www.aapd.org/foundation/kids.  For additional information, visit  www.healthysmileshealthychildren.org
