Started in 2024 by Delta Dental of New Mexico, the Smiles Across New Mexico small grant program provides grants to organizations throughout New Mexico to help fund dental education initiatives and programs designed to promote the oral health of underserved children and individuals in at-risk populations across the state.

Objectives of the program include:
- Reducing oral disease through education, prevention, and treatment
- Ensuring access to affordable, timely and high-quality dental care
- Enhancing the awareness of good oral health with a focus on children and individuals in need
- Making a measurable difference in the oral health of New Mexicans
