Description

As a nonprofit sister organization to the South Dakota Dental Association (SDDA), the South Dakota Dental Foundation, SDDF is dedicated to improving oral health through education, advocacy, and direct support. SDDF focuses on serving those who need it most—elderly and disabled individuals, underserved children in need of orthodontic care, aspiring dental professionals, and communities lacking access to preventive dental services.

SDCF Senior Program Officer, Ginger Niemann, joined the Executive Director of both SDDA and SDDF, Paul Knecht, to discuss how the South Dakota Fund grant is helping SDDF expand its impact in South Dakota. 

In this episode, you will hear:

  • What it was like applying for the South Dakota Grant Fund.

  • The vital role SDDF programs offer, like the Donated Dental Services program.

  • How Paul hopes the SDDF will grow in the future. 

“Applying for the South Dakota Fund Grant was such a positive experience for us. It was very straightforward, and we are so thrilled to turn these grant funds into results for the people we hope to help across South Dakota.” – Paul Knecht
