Core offering

The Patterson Foundation is a corporate-affiliated charitable foundation that awards quarterly grants to nonprofit organizations providing oral health services, assistance dog training, and FFA youth leadership education, and provides post-secondary education scholarships to school-age children of Patterson employees in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. It also operates the Dollars for Doers program, which donates $100 per Patterson employee to the nonprofit organization where that employee volunteers. The Foundation is funded by employee endowments and ongoing donations and exists to support oral and animal health communities and employee family education.
