Overview

Mission

To assure that all members of the community have access to oral health education disease prevention and treatment services, with a special emphasis on those who are at risk and vulnerable for high rates of disease and low rates of treatment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Founded in 1909, the cincy smiles foundation's mission is to ensure that all members of our community have access to oral health education, disease prevention, and treatment services with a special emphasis on those who are at-risk due to poverty. Our oral health care programs are evidence - based interventions that can reduce oral health disparities, promote oral health care equity, and are a measurable and effective way for communities to help meet the needs of underserved populations that are burdened with poor oral health and chronic illness. Last year we served 19,512 people ranging in age from birth to senior citizens. This number includes 367 served through the workforce program, 3,065 served through the maternal and early childhood program, 2,163 served through the dental road crew, and 13,917 served through the dental center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
