10 national
nonprofits selected based on need, community impact
The Patterson Foundation recently announced $105,046 in Q1 Grant
Funding to 10 non-profit organizations in the oral health and
animal health fields. These organizations were selected based on
their value to the community and the importance of their continued
operations and functions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This quarter was different than others, as we really wanted to
focus on organizations that needed help during the pandemic,” said
Lindsay Stewart, Sr Foundation Manager. “It’s important that the
emergency procedures these non-profits provide to under-privileged
individuals continue to be available during this time.”
The 10 organizations include:
Animal Health:
- Retrieving Independence (Nashville, TN)
Dental:
- Cahaba Valley Health Care (Birmingham,
AL)
- Free Clinic of Southwest Washington
(Seattle, WA)
- Interfaith Dental Clinic (Nashville,
TN)

(Philadelphia, PA)
- Holland Free Dental Clinic (Grand Rapids,
MI)

In 2019, Patterson Foundation gave more than $1.3 million in
grants and scholarships, resulting in 45 non-profits receiving
funds, and 138 students (36 new and 102 renewed) receiving tuition
assistance.
“Patterson is thrilled to be able to give back in any we can.
Especially right now,” said Stewart.
