Your Gift - Their Smile

Top 10 Reasons Year-end Giving Matters

1. Make a Meaningful Impact When It Matters Most

Year-end giving helps Dental Health Arlington's SMILES program close funding gaps and prepare for the upcoming year. Know your gift is making an immediate and significant difference.

2. Maximize Tax Benefits

Reminder - Contributions made before December 31 may qualify for charitable tax deductions.

3. Support Children and Families During the Holiday Season

The season is naturally aligned with generosity. Feel good knowing your support helps kids start the new year healthier, happier, and ready to learn.

4. Be Part of Something Bigger

Year-end campaigns unify the community. Be part of a collective effort that lifts up local students and expands the impact of the SMILES Program.

5. Directly Create Healthier, Brighter Futures

Your gift provides real, tangible services—dental screenings, education, oral health kits, fluoride, and sealants.

6. Help Kids Who Would Otherwise Go Without Care

Supporting SMILES at year-end means removing barriers for children whose families may face financial, transportation, or dental insurance challenges.

7. Leave a Lasting Impression

A healthy smile lasts long after the holidays. You can help children build confidence, avoid dental pain, and feel ready to participate fully in school.

8. Strengthen a Local Program They Can Trust

Appreciate knowing your contribution stays in the Arlington community and supports a program with a strong track record of results.

9. Celebrate the Spirit of Giving

Year-end giving allows you to share your generosity with the joy and gratitude of the season.

10. Inspire Others

When you step up, it often encourages friends, family, and colleagues to do the same—multiplying your impact.
