Project Grants

Arcora Foundation is excited to announce a funding opportunity to support oral health projects that increase access to dental care, improve social determinants of health, and/or promote healthy behaviors, particularly within Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color. Applications will be evaluated based on how well the project intends to narrow disparity gaps, particularly within its community of focus.

Funding Focus

Below are examples of projects that may qualify for grant funding, but are not intended to limit your creativity or focus. Projects will likely fall under one of these three categories, but are not expected to meet all three.
