Key Points
- Grants
and contracts can both bring funds to clinics, but the two are
sought and managed differently and have different focuses.
- Federal, state, county, or local governments
receive and disperse public funds for specific focus areas or categorical
programs (e.g., maternal and child health, rural health, safety
net dental care).
- Local sources are a good
place to begin a search for funding opportunities.
- The Ohio Department of Health is a significant
funder of safety net dental clinics.
- Some companies, such as insurance, pharmaceutical,
manufacturing, or distribution companies, provide funding for health
services, sometimes in specific geographic areas.
- Writing successful proposals requires
(1) a thorough understanding of the activities being proposed,
(2) the ability to present ideas in a clear, concise, and well-organized
manner, (3) The necessary knowledge to demonstrate how all aspects
of the project will be managed, and (4) the ability to explain how
the project will be evaluated, describe the effectiveness of activities,
and discuss outcomes.
