Overview

Mission

To deliver safe, high quality, and specialized dental treatment to the underserved and promote oral health through education to communities of north California.

What it reported doing in 2024

General programs - support staff and services that cross multiple patient support and operational service needs encompasing patient care, educational outreach, preventive oral health kit distribution, administrative support, grant writing, and advocacy for improved access to care for marginalized or socioeconomically challenged families with children at risk for severe tooth decay.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 87% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
