Patterson Foundation

Patterson Foundation endeavors to make a meaningful difference in our communities through our post-secondary scholarship for Patterson Companies employees' children, community grants and volunteerism programs. Our grants provide gifts to organizations and projects that focus on the following:*Programs that expand access to restorative and emergency dental care for individuals in need, start-up costs, and/or one-time projects that expand an organization’s capacity to serve individuals in need. Priority is given to organizations that are staffed primarily by volunteer dental professionals and/or students.*Funding for organizations that provide assistance dogs to veterans and individuals with disabilities. The Foundation awards grants for start-up costs or one-time expenses to help a program expand capacity for years into the future. In general, support is limited to organizations that are members or candidates of Assistance Dogs International (ADI) or the International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF).
