View the 2020 recipient list here . In considering Community Mini-grants program requests, the DDF evaluates each application on its own merit. Careful consideration is given to each request, and requests are reviewed in terms of general eligibility and conformity with grant guidelines, funds available and the amount needed to achieve the desired results and program priorities.
Also taken into consideration are: programs and activities in which the requesting organization is engaged; the number and type of constituencies served, services offered, accountability and fundraising practices, availability of other funding sources and past successes. Community Mini-grants program is limited to a maximum of $5,000 per grant.
Grants must be dedicated to local not-for-profit programs designed to promote oral health in Michigan, Indiana and/or Ohio.
Of particular interest are programs designed to: increase access to dental care for at-risk populations, reduce consumption of sugary foods and beverages; educate about and provide oral health care to pregnant women and their babies; and educate about and improve children’s oral health, especially in school-based settings. Organizations are able to apply to both cycles but may only be awarded one grant per calendar year.
