The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation Super Smiles at School Mini Grant supports Arkansas school-based oral-health projects focused on prevention, education, access to treatment, oral-health assessment and related student/community oral-health activities.
Funding: Up to $2,500. The 2026 grant guidelines state that each organization may receive one Super Smiles at School grant in a 12-month period and that applications are accepted year-round.
Next published 2026 submission deadline: October 2, 2026. The Foundation’s 2026 deadline sheet also lists November 6 and December 4, 2026. No exact closing time or time zone is published, so Atlas does not infer one.
Controlling 2026 eligibility: The current 2026 Super Smiles grant guidelines state that the applicant must be a school, district, or other registered and accredited educational institution within Arkansas, all funding must be used in Arkansas, and grants are not made directly to individuals. The Foundation’s general program webpage describes broader Arkansas nonprofit/government/educational participation, so applicants should follow the current program-specific guidelines and confirm any edge-case eligibility with Foundation staff before submission.
Eligible costs: The 2026 guidelines permit program/administrative staff time attributable to the oral-health component, equipment, supplies, consumables, one-time costs, denture lab fees, daily program operating costs, educational supplies/materials, and curriculum. They exclude direct dentist/hygienist or other dental-provider salaries, treatment or billable procedures, co-pays/deductibles, payments to individuals, fundraising/sponsorships, private foundations/endowments, debt, and excessive salaries/travel/gifts.
Submission and contact: The Foundation directs applicants to its online Foundant grant-management site. Questions may be sent to foundation@deltadentalar.com. The Foundation also publishes a Super Smiles school resource folder with oral-health risk-assessment, fluoride-varnish and student/parent forms.
Atlas fit: This is a legitimate Arkansas school-health opportunity, but Atlas does not force a Dr. Miltie or N9+ connection. No verified N9+ dental or intraoral capability establishes a material fit for this program; technology fit would require a clearly eligible oral-health use case and Foundation approval.
