"One More Child"
Foundation
Mission
The mission of
the "One More Child" Foundation (a 501(c)(3)) is to provide an option
for uninsured children with oral healthcare problems to
obtain donated dental care that they otherwise would likely never
receive.
Overview
The primary function of the
foundation is grant writing to fund care for uninsured children and
patient outreach programs. By combining funds received from
grants, contributions of supplies and staffing from ReachOut
Healthcare America, and volunteer time from dentists, the foundation
provides donated dental services to low-income, uninsured children
while they are at school. In addition, the foundation
employees Care Coordinators who do patient outreach via telephone to
make sure parents are aware of services. Contact our
grant writer to
learn more about our funding initiatives or to learn how you can
help.
