We invest in promising ideas that improve oral health for all and would love to hear what you are working on
We love investing in promising ideas to promote oral health for all and are always open to listening to new ideas.
Our grantmaking focuses on improving dental access to care, education, and workforce development. We look for innovative partnerships with accountability for results. Successful initiatives require planning, development, implementation, follow-through, and sustainability — with a focus on compassion. While grants may be beneficial for specific purposes, our focus is on solving larger statewide problems in oral health that match our vision and involve collaboration with many partners.

Access to Care
