Programs
Implementing dental quality measures in practice Skourtes Institute is the sub-recipient/awardee of an nih grant awarded to the university of texas at houston. The grant money supports a research project titled implementing dental quality measures in practice. This project is a consortium agreement entered into by Skourtes Institute and four other dental schools, to collaborate and analyze data from electronic health records, with the ultimate goal of creating standard quality metrics to evaluate dental health. Donated labor services of 32,013 from willamette dental management company (ein:93-1226036) were provided to Skourtes Institute to assist with the achievement of this program service accomplishment.
Reducing oral health disparities in children: Skourtes Institute has been awarded a grant from the university of california san francisco. The grant supports a research project titled "assessing the multilevel impact of a standardized preventative dental care system." the Skourtes Institute together with the willamette dental management company (ein:93-1226036), will participate in all phases of the grant. The grant is a program evaluation of the preventative care model used by willamette dental. This will include access to patients for in person surveys, access to patient electronic health records, access to dental protocols, access to patient demographics and data and access and participation from key willamette dental employees. You are able to track disparities since willamette dental has a large population of medicaid children in addition to its commercial children population. The goal of the research project is to evaluate the impact of current standardized evidence-based prevention and treatment programs that are geared toward reducing disparities in dental health of children; as well as improving these standardized evidence-based prevention and treatment programs,…
"optimizing acute post-operative dental pain management using new health information technology:this study proposes an innovative solution to optimize the quality of dental pain monitoring and management by implementing mobile phone technology to monitor patients pain during the critical acute postoperative phase after a dental procedure. The increased collection and utilization of pro data will help improve dental care delivery quality, patient-dentist communication, patient engagement, and patient satisfaction, as well as reduce unnecessary opioid rxs in society by enabling providers to explore modifying prescribing behaviors. Our hypothesis is a proactive approach to post-op pain assessment will lead to prompted identification of sub-optimal pain experiences (moderate to severe pain intensity), enabling providers to intervene by starting a new or modify existing analgesic regimens without preemptively prescribing opioids. We hypothesize that this will reduce unnecessary patient suffering, and increasing overall pain management satisfaction.
"informatics approaches to understand and reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing by dentists":our long-term goal is to build a sustainable national dental learning health system focused on continuous quality improvement that facilitates providing patients with high quality, evidence-based oral healthcare. To do this, we first need to establish a practice-level learning health system (lhs) supported by an effective informatics infrastructure, relevant data governance and a culture of learning that drives evidence-based dental practice. In this project, we seek to quantify and understand inappropriate antibiotic prescribing, and to iteratively develop improvement strategies to improve prescribing. Through a deep understanding of why antibiotics are so frequently prescribed outside of the guidelines, we expect to engage the dental team and patients to develop feasible interventions. We will conduct the research at two large group practices: healthpartners (hp) and willamette dental group (wdg) which together have over 100,000 patient visits per year. Our project team comprises of experts in dental informatics, healthcare quality and safety, and human factors. Donated labor…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $843k to $988k (+17%).
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: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% · 2024 88%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
88% of SKOURTES INSTITUTE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

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
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 SKOURTES INSTITUTE’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.
Where its funders are
100% of SKOURTES INSTITUTE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
