General FundBy donating to our general fund, you are ensuring the future for programs directly funded by the Foundation. One such program is our Give Kids a Smile Award. Since 2007, we have given out over $145,000 to community health centers or service programs. The foundation recognizes these programs' ability to build, expand or enhance education, access and/or capacity with respect to oral health care for children. The NYSDF GKAS Award was inspired in part bay the American Dental Association's efforts to help children get the dental care that they so desperately need.

Gold FundIt might seem impossible - that in this day and age, there are children who are badly in need of dental care but who cannot receive it through regular channels such as private insurance, Medicaid, and Child Health Plus. Too often, kids who have fallen through the cracks of the healthcare system and need expensive care are reliant upon a small pool of volunteer dentists and limited operating room availability. The Foundation's Gold Fund represents a financial resource to facilitate the oral healthcare treatment of disadvantaged and/or risk children in New York State. All Gold Fund grant money is applied exclusively to actual clinical dental treatment services to a child. Grants from this fund will range from between $1,000 and $5,000.

Disaster Relief FundFor most New York State residents, Hurricane Sandy is a benign memory of a much-hyped storm that didn’t quite live up to its potential. Not so for the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers living in the southeastern portion of the state whose homes and businesses took a direct hit from the October Superstorm. For many of these unfortunate people, the struggle to regain normalcy continues. The New York State Dental Foundation responded at once and continues to offer help through its Disaster relief Fund, established within days of the storm to assist dentists in their recovery efforts. This is on-going fund that will hopefully never be needed again.

The Dr. Thomas H. Sullivan
Chemical Dependency Grant PRogram
The incidence of alcoholism and drug abuse among health care professionals is statistically higher than for the general population. Estimates suggest that addictive illness affects between 10-20 percent of all dentists. Eighty percent of licensed dentists practice as solo practitioners, isolated from daily contact with other professionals. This makes it acutely difficult to identify potential addiction problems, particularly in the early stages, and to effectively intervene or monitor recovery.
The Dr. Thomas H. Sullivan Chemical Dependency Grant Program provides financial assistance to chemically dependent dentists whose professional careers, families and very lives are threatened by substance abuse and addiction. The grants provided via the Sullivan Grant Program assist in the payment of initial treatment costs associated with in-patient services. Any dentist who requires in-patient medical services to treat a chemical dependency but who does not have access to independent financing or relevant medical coverage is eligible to apply for assistance to the Sullivan Grant Program.
Chemical dependency, for the purpose of this program, is defined as dependency upon alcohol and/or any addictive licit or illicit controlled substances. (No monies are available for treatment costs associated exclusively with nicotine addictions.)
Applications to the Sullivan Grant Program are reviewed by the NYSDA Chemical Dependency Committee’s Peer Assistance Coordinator and staff from the New York State Dental Foundation, which administers the Program.
Tax-deductible contributions to the Dr. Thomas H. Sullivan Chemical Dependency Grant Program can be made c/o the New York State Dental Foundation, 20 Corporate Woods Boulevard, Suite 602, Albany, NY 12211. Please indicate on the memo line of your check that the monies are to be applied to the Sullivan Grant Program. All monies contributed to this account will be used solely for the purposes of assisting impaired dentists.
