CareQuest Institute for Oral Health will fund school based and school linked initiatives to improve oral health and access for children and their families. As part of its philanthropic strategy to strengthen communities and improve oral health systems, the program aims to address barriers for high risk children to prevent dental disease and support health and academic success.
The opportunity will fund up to ten projects at up to 125,000 dollars each. Eligible entities are public entities and nonprofit organizations that are tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) and are based and operating in the United States or its territories. Funds may be used to design and implement programs that bring preventive and restorative services, education, and linkages to care in school based or school linked settings.
Applicants should present clear goals, activities, and evaluation plans that demonstrate expected outcomes and community benefit consistent with CareQuest Institute priorities. The grant period length is not specified beyond the individual award cap.
Applications are due May 1, 2024 through CareQuest Institute’s described submission process. Additional information is available from CareQuest Institute for Oral Health.
