About CHILDRENS SMILE FOUNDATION

Children’s Smile Foundation (founded 1999) is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) charity based in Maspeth, NY that focuses on helping children in difficult life situations in both Poland and the United States. The organization concentrates on fundraising for medical care, rehabilitation, trips and material support for orphanages and families in need and operates largely through volunteer leadership and community sponsors.

The foundation runs a calendar of signature events (annual Valentine’s Ball, an art auction under the patronage of the Polish Consulate in New York, summer family festivals, a charity 5K run and holiday programs) to raise funds and awareness. In the last 2–3 years the foundation has remained active in community fundraising and direct support programs, reporting recurring events and year-over-year fundraising activity that supports individual medical cases and community-level projects.
