Maryland Foundation of Dentistry — Award Amount: $25,000

In 1988 the Maryland Dental Association created the Maryland Foundation of Dentistry. The sole purpose of the organization is to facilitate the provision of pro bono dental care for Maryland citizens who are disabled, cannot afford treatment and are ineligible for public aid.

The MFD operates the Donated Dental Services Program. The Program recruits volunteer dentists and dental laboratories to provide services free of charge to adult low-income Maryland residents who are disabled by illness or injury. MFD patient care coordinators act as liaisons between patients and dentists to maximize the volunteers’ time and ensure that patients receive needed care and services. Since 1989, over $19 million in free dental care has been provided to approximately 9,800 Marylanders.

It is an almost-all-volunteer organization and has provided service to literally thousands of older adults at four sites in Maryland.

A grant was awarded to support the Ride Partners Program in Anne Arundel County. A major component of the program is access to health care.
