The Niagara Community Foundation is giving a $100,000 grant to Niagara College to help expand its dental teaching and community care clinic.
The grant is being made to Niagara College’s Together Campaign and is coming from the Niagara Community Foundation’s David S. Howes Fund. The money will help to increase community access to low-cost dental care and allow more dental students to enter the workforce.
“NCF is honoured to support the expansion of the Dental Clinic at Niagara College,” said Niagara Community Foundation Executive Director Bryan Rose. “The priorities of the David S. Howes Fund specifically outline healthcare and post-secondary education as top priorities. This type of program alignment not only fulfills the philanthropic wishes of the late Mr. Howes, but supports the pressing needs of the community.”
