Majority to patient care
Our budget target
As a newly established foundation, we publish budget targets rather than historical audited results. Our target is to direct the substantial majority of expenses to patient treatment and program services.
Our shared-contribution model: Where they can, patients contribute toward their own treatment to demonstrate commitment, and donors help cover the remaining gap so surgery becomes possible.
What a donation really means
A real reply from one of our candidates the day after she submitted her application. For people who've spent years hiding their smile, even being seen and considered is life-changing — and that's before treatment even begins.
“Thank you so much for giving me hope for a change FINALLY!!!”
— Michelle, candidate, the afternoon after submitting her application
Your donation funds the diagnostics, implants, and restorations that turn this hope into a finished smile. Every dollar moves a candidate from the waitlist to the operatory.
Happy patients — our candidates will be too
