Mission of Mercy Event Grants

The Patterson Foundation provides grants for state Mission of Mercy (MOM) events across the U.S. each year. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations classified as public charities by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Funding for state Mission of Mercy (MOM) events that provide free dental care to people across the U.S. Individual grants for MOM events range up to $5,000, depending on several factors in the application including the number of patients to be served and results from prior events.

Funding

Individual grant amounts are $5,000 for 100-chair events and $3,500 for 45-chair events.

The Patterson Foundation will review grant applications for MOM events and decide within 30 days of receipt. The Foundation will mail checks for approved MOM grants within 10 days of the decision date.
