In 2015, we formalized this commitment by creating the Park Dental Partners Foundation, a non-profit entity that supports education, research and dental care outreach. We have always believed in improving lives through the advancement of oral health, and the Park Dental Partners Foundation allows us to further build upon the many charitable activities we’ve engaged in for decades. Since our formation, we have distributed over $550,000 in grants and scholarships, and we have big plans to expand these efforts in the years to come.

Better Oral Health, Better Communities

Care Outreach

We believe that everyone deserves access to quality dental care. Through our care outreach initiative, we focus on helping underserved populations get the care they need. Over the years, we have selected various recipients in the Twin Cities and awarded each of them a grant for a specific project that helps bring better care to children, disabled, elderly, the homeless and low-income individuals. Past care outreach recipients include the Minnesota Cavity Free Kids program, Apple Tree Dental, Sharing & Caring Hands, and Children’s Dental Services. The Park Dental Partners Foundation has also provided support for Minnesota Mission of Mercy. These programs have brought exceptional oral health services to underserved patients throughout Minnesota.

Education

We support the next generation of clinicians who have a passion for dentistry, and we believe in making educational opportunities more affordable for these students. The Park Dental Partners Foundation awards scholarships to deserving students who will add their skills to address the needs in our communities. Recipients are from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and 20 additional regional dental schools, dental hygiene and dental assisting programs.

Research

At Park Dental Partners, we are always looking for ways to make dental care even better for patients. Through our commitment to research, we are constantly supporting better treatment options. In the past, we funded studies through regional dental schools and community clinics. Each year, the Park Dental Partners Foundation helps fund exciting new projects that bring better dental care to the community.

Looking Ahead

The Park Dental Partners Foundation is constantly looking for ways to share its mission and vision more broadly. We hope to continue to expand our scholarships and grants to help improve even more lives. Our annual Park Dental Partners Golf Invitational will continue to play a big role in our fundraising efforts, as will your generous contributions.
