The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation Community Grant is an open, rolling Arkansas funding opportunity for oral health treatment and prevention projects serving underserved, uninsured or underinsured Arkansas residents.
Funding: $2,500 to $40,000 per organization. Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation states that $750,000 is available through the Community Grant program.
Deadline: Applications are accepted year round and reviewed quarterly. The public program page does not publish a controlling daily closing time or time zone for rolling submissions, so Atlas does not infer one. Applicants should confirm the current quarterly review cutoff in the Foundation portal before relying on a specific review date.
Eligibility: Arkansas based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, government agencies, schools and charitable dental treatment facilities may apply. Individuals are not eligible. Projects must have a primary focus on oral health treatment or prevention and must benefit underserved, uninsured or underinsured Arkansans. Eligible organizations may receive only one Community Grant per year, and previously funded organizations must submit required final reports before a new application.
Eligible costs: The Foundation lists program specific administrative or staffing costs, capital needs including equipment and supplies, dental clinic treatment expenses and supplies, and programmatic or operational expenses. Typical exclusions include direct dental staff salaries or payments covering dental treatment, grants to individuals, fundraising or sponsorships, private foundations and endowments, organizational debt, excessive salary or travel costs, incentives and gifts, and discriminatory programs.
Match or cost share: The public Community Grant page does not state a mandatory applicant match or cost share requirement. Applicants should verify the current application and grant guidelines in the Foundation portal before submission.
Submission: Applications are submitted online through the Foundation’s Foundant grant management system. The Foundation also provides grant guidelines and application and reporting documents from the official Community Grants page.
Atlas fit: Atlas Opportunity Score 74/100. N9+ Fit Score 20/100. The opportunity is legitimately healthcare related and equipment can be eligible, but the controlling program is narrowly focused on oral health treatment and prevention. The Nonagon N9+ device and platform can capture mouth and throat images including the oral cavity, but Atlas does not treat that capability as a substitute for dental imaging or assume a dental use case. Applicant specific pursuit should proceed only if an organization has a clearly eligible oral health workflow and the Foundation confirms that the proposed technology is allowable and materially supports the funded program.
