Overview

Mission

Providing oral health education and improving access to dental care for the uninsured, low-income children and families of miami-dade county.

What it reported doing in 2025

The community smiles charitable clinic (the "clinic") is located in the lindsey hopkins technical college, in the jackson memorial hospital medical complex in miami, Florida. The clinic provides care to uninsured and underserved patients who have no other access to oral health care. Equipped with surgical and imaging equipment, the operatory facility is accredited by the accrediting association for ambulatory health care (aaahc), and provides comprehensive care to its patients. The clinic also conducts outreach and education programs in the community, as well as in cooperation with local public schools, government agencies and other social services agencies.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 78% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
