Mission & Focus Areas
Operation Smile’s stated purpose includes providing life-changing surgery for people born with cleft lip and cleft palate and other surgical conditions, providing medical education, and supporting health-system strengthening initiatives in lower- and middle-income countries. Its programs include surgery, dental and other comprehensive care, clinician training, research, public awareness, and partnerships intended to improve access to care.
The organization says it works with governments, health ministries, corporations, academic institutions, and other nonprofits. Its individual philanthropy page also describes working with philanthropists, family foundations, grantmaking institutions, and legacy estate donors to connect contributions with initiatives expanding access to safe surgery. These descriptions identify partners and donor audiences; they do not establish a grant program for outside applicants.
Grantmaking
The available information does not identify grants made to outside organizations or provide grant amounts, typical award sizes, or an application process. The IRS filing data lists zero grants for each of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 filing years. The organization’s program description does report hospital investments and support for care delivered through hospital partnerships, but does not characterize these as grants to outside applicants.
