DONATIONS

The Dental Industry is very behind in Innovations.

How We Work

We listen and learn about the challenges that public, government, schools, colleges, employers, senior citizen communities, and other communities are facing related to oral care, and we identify massive problems that would not get attention to resolve. We then design the human education element, disrupted technologies, and smart capital to make a meaningful impact and difference.

Our works starts with a grant, donation, fundraising, sponsorship, or strategic investment as charitable gifts. Our program team members and focus group for the related project collaborate through a unique education system, data ecosystem, and human experience platform.

We primarily work in 3 ways:

Grants

We rely on grants and funding to achieve measurable impact, research, and strategy implementation in the fight against gum disease and oral care diseases around the world. There are a number of projects focusing on children, college students, geriatrics, employees, and more.

Charitable Giving

We offer giving opportunity for individuals and institutions to adopt a data-driven philanthropic sector with an oral care education focus. Because oral care is not as much of an area of interest compared to other sectors, in many ways, and the process of seeking grants is more time consuming and very limited, we rely more on accelerating the power of giving to be able to make an impact more quickly.

We identify our goals and where we can have the greatest impact to accomplish oral care education. We engage in deeply rooted and complex human behavior and habits that can’t be solved quickly and easily because it took a long time for those habits to develop. We can’t resolve those deeply rooted behaviors through our efforts alone. We understand that the change we want to see in the world will take time.

We listen to unheard voices. We analyze the problems. We define our goals. We commit to getting partners involved. And we will identify a clear path to achieving the goals and make impossible possible.

Fundraising and Sponsorships

We believe the value of philanthropy should be compared like an investment. Specifically, we understand that the positive impact we can make from funding we can deploy today will be much greater than the cost of inaction will be in the future. Because grant making is slow and decisions are delayed, we are focusing most of our energy in partnering with individuals and organizations who want to invest into a better future.

We live in a world in which an increasing number of philanthropists are committing to give away much of their wealth in their lifetime. However, none of them have made any major contribution to oral care. Therefore, we created a model to stimulate the private sector to sponsor oral care improvements. Our organization has created tax advantages to help more of your philanthropy go to improving oral care. We believe strategic partners can create an impact faster when they partner with other private sector donors.

The dental industry also has a lack of corporate venture arm and startup funding for innovations. Private investors rely on the general partners and investment managers who have specific expertise and a successful track record. They syndicate alongside others they trust or have a big name. The due-diligence efforts take forever. That’s part of why we created a fundraising and sponsorship model for philanthropic giving that high-net-worth individual donors, institutional foundations, corporations, and governments can contribute to in such a way that they know a passionate team will support them. We build teams that develop expertise, invite disrupted technologies, create new initiatives, and more. Donors can collaborate and share data, share expertise to scale, and combine with a diverse network in healthcare, oral care, nutrition, technology, healthy lifestyle, and more.

We invite the private sector to make strategic investment gift to our not-for-profit organization. We learned from the COVID-19 that localization is very important and focusing in local communities in the US is our first priority. We believe the public sector needs a better oral care data-driven platform in place and we are ready to help.
