Free to Smile Foundation is a fully functional year-round nonprofit organization formed by a group of individuals who care. Coming from a wide variety of backgrounds and ideals, we all have one common vision: to make a change in the world, to do whatever it takes to help serve the impoverished cleft lip/palate and dental population throughout the world.

Free to Smile Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) humanitarian organization. Our all-volunteer staff relies upon the generosity of others – individuals, companies and foundations – to fulfill its mission.

Why We Need Your Help
Our team of doctors and volunteers donate all services to patients at no charge. To ensure all donated money is used most efficiently to help children in need, we pay our own airfares. Mission trips, however, are far from inexpensive.

Consider the following costs:
Average Trip Cost – $40,000 – $50,000
Cost of Supplies for 1 Trip – $8,000 – $10,000
Cost of OR for 1 Day – $2,500
