A $240,000 New Year's Eve grant from the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation will underwrite three years of dental screenings for low-income children in Montana, according to a story in the Missoulian.
The grant to the Montana Primary Care Association builds on a 2008 donation that provided 2,700 children with dental care and referrals. The money was used in community health centers in Missoula, Billings, Butte, Bozeman, Kalispell, Cut Bank, Havre, and Libby.
In 2010, the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation distributed more than $20 million to tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations that improve the quality of life. Since it was founded in 1988, it has disbursed more than $120 million, the Missoulian noted.
