What Cincysmiles Foundation Inc does
Mission
To assure that all members of the community have access to oral health education disease prevention and treatment services, with a special emphasis on those who are at risk and vulnerable for high rates of disease and low rates of treatment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Founded in 1909, the cincy smiles foundation's mission is to ensure that all members of our community have access to oral health education, disease prevention, and treatment services with a special emphasis on those who are at-risk due to poverty. Our oral health care programs are evidence - based interventions that can reduce oral health disparities, promote oral health care equity, and are a measurable and effective way for communities to help meet the needs of underserved populations that are burdened with poor oral health and chronic illness. Last year we served 19,512 people ranging in age from birth to senior citizens. This number includes 367 served through the workforce program, 3,065 served through the maternal and early childhood program, 2,163 served through the dental road crew, and 13,917 served through the dental center.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $264k to $80k (−70%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 6% · 2020 13% · 2021 10% · 2022 11% · 2023 4% · 2024 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 4 funders, grant income fell $205k → $116k.
3 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CINCYSMILES FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CINCYSMILES FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CINCYSMILES FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 54% · 2019 50% · 2020 42% · 2021 79% · 2022 81% · 2023 48% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
40% of CINCYSMILES FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
85% of CINCYSMILES FOUNDATION INC's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $291k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
