About NATIONAL FOUNDATION OF DENTISTRY FOR THE HANDICAPPED

The National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped (doing business as Dental Lifeline Network) is a national 501(c)(3) based in Denver, CO that connects vulnerable adults with volunteer dentists and laboratories to provide comprehensive, donated dental treatment. The organization operates the Donated Dental Services (DDS) program, Colorado Campaign of Concern and other state programs to serve people who are elderly, living with disabilities, medically fragile, or otherwise unable to afford necessary dental care. Dental Lifeline Network coordinates a nationwide volunteer network and state-level program partners to screen patients, match them with volunteer providers, and manage treatment for complex dental needs. In recent years the organization has continued to scale its network and partnership funding while reporting multi-year program activity and annual Form 990 filings that demonstrate ongoing national operations.
