Purposes of the Nebraska Dental Foundation
The Foundation is recognized as a 501(c)(3) under the Internal Revenue Code and is organized under the Nebraska Nonprofit Corporation Act, §§ 21-1901 to 21-19,177 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes (“the Act”) . Gifts to the Foundation can support any of the following areas:
The specific and primary purposes and activities for which the corporation is organized are the receiving of grants, donations and contributions and the application of funds so received to educate the public about dental health related issues, to fund clinics providing dental services at a reduced cost to low income people, to fund scientific research or dental research, to make loans or grants to dentists who are victims of disasters to enable them to carry on their practices, to make loans or grants to dental or allied dental health students with financial need, to make loans or grants to disabled dentists for purposes of retraining, and to support other charitable or educational projects relating to dental health.
Making Grants and Making a Difference
The Nebraska Dental Foundation is growing and becoming more active by issuing grants and “making a difference.” Contributions to the Foundation help support a variety of programs. To raise awareness for the Foundation, we added a line item to the dues invoices giving each member the option of voluntarily contributing $50.00 to the Foundation
Before the Foundation can really begin to make a difference, we need ALL of our members to get involved by making a contribution to the Foundation. Contributions can be in the form of cash, securities or testamentary bequests (memorial gifts will be acknowledged).
