There continue to be limited resources within the community for the indigent with urgent dental care needs. Each year, nearly 10,000 individuals seek care at SLDDS. Unfortunately, SLDDS is forced to turn away many not because of inadequate facilities or a lack of volunteers but due to insufficient funding. As an organization that provides our services at no charge to the patient, as the number of patients we treat increase so do our operating costs. Your generous support will change lives by enabling our volunteer dental professionals to continue donating this valuable and much needed service.

Last year, 81% of all revenue SLDDS received was from private sources:

• Less than 1% corporate sponsors
• 48% foundations
• 11% private donors and
• 21% fundraising

Public funds made up 19% of SLDDS’ revenue in 2009:

• 13% was CDBG funding
• Less than 1% from Medicaid / PCN / CHIP &
• 6% from the Utah State Primary Care Grant

Throughout 2009 SLDDS received $262,907 in donations made in-kind.
