The mission of the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation (DDARF) is to improve oral health for everyone by supporting initiatives that discover, test, and share creative ideas aimed at improving oral health outcomes and promoting health equity. DDARF focuses on empowering communities with knowledge, ensuring equitable access to oral health care, and fostering systemic change in oral health processes.
The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation Mini Grant program is designed to support small, community-based oral health projects with innovative, solution-based approaches that have a tangible impact. The grants focus on supplying oral health supplies, educating communities about oral health, partnering with dental professionals to offer preventative services, and connecting those in need with dental treatment. Mini grants, offering up to $2,500, are intended for organizations that may not qualify for larger Community Grants, with a goal of directly impacting communities through improved access to oral health initiatives.
